"The night clubs shut down at midnight, where are you staying until 3 o'clock?"

We wanted to have fun

because we'd had such a hard time before, when we only talked about war.

In my detachment I was the singer

and they always asked me to sing this song or that one,

but every time I got sad.

So now I only wanted to enjoy myself.

Then I found a girlfriend,

a cousin of that friend of mine who had died.

In fact I was matched with her

because she was coming to meet me and asked me to take her out to dance.

She was living in Puianello and I was staying in Reggio

and at night she was going to sleep at Pancio's place.

But when something isn't spontaneous it's not going on

and in fact it was a bluff and we split up.

Then I found my wife, because this time I went to find her.

I was going to the Zibordi and as I saw her trac!

I went to find her and it was a wholly different story.

And here we are now.

I've given a lot, also as a volunteer for the ANPI.
