lyrics

ERO IL CANTANTE DEI CATTIES

Qualche anno fa una band io fondai, ingenuo rumore di grinta e d'amore
quei giovani tempi no non scorderò mai, mischiando alla buona immondizia e candore

Ero il cantante dei Catties tamarri scurrili e tremendi
esplosione di suoni febbrili brutti ceffi dai cuori gentili

Alienato io parlavo insieme a Mr.Renna dimenandomi seminudo sopra una transenna
Diego della batteria faceva una mitraglia mentre Mauri al basso incominciava la battaglia
Sergio se n'è andato a fare il bersagliere, in compenso arrivo' Resci ad incendiare le balere
approdammo anche a Milano ad esportare il nostro suono che era ruvido e violento però aveva un cuore buono

Ero il cantante...
Suonavamo una musica dura forse un po' troppo all'americana
a qualcuno faceva paura, per noi era una danza pagana

Capelloni fricchettoni pazzerelli rocchettari ma eravam semplicemente 4 bestie da safari
che sputavano una musica più dura del diamante, di platee con 4 gatti ne abbiam
viste proprio tante
distorta la chitarra come una motosega ci ronzava nelle testa col suo ritmo indemoniato
io cantavo con la gola ipnotizzato da una strega
e anche quando era dicembre stavo sempre un po' accaldato
tamburi che rullavano e lo stridere dei piatti, sudore come sabbia nel bel mezzo del deserto
qualcuno ci diceva che eravamo tutti matti per poi verificarlo alla fine del concerto

Rit. Ero il cantante....
Suonavamo una musica....

Ma che arsura! Giù birroni e che comincino le danze! Rocchenrollo da taverna
ho addocchiato quatto manze
siam teatrali come santi travestiti da puttane è iniziato oggi il tour delle bettole malsane
Chissà la mamma di quello lì ma che dispiacere... ma io ero un agnellino
quando a casa ritornavo
sopra il palco mi potevo finalmente confidare, ora giro per il mondo, sono nudo e me la cavo
E se apprezzo il silenzio e il canto degli uccelli forse è un po' per l'energia di quei
diabolici stornelli
se ora abbasso il volume e mi ascolto il flauto è perchè con gli schiamazzi non ci andavo molto cauto
Un pochino son cresciuto però il vizio mi è rimasto dello scrivere e cantare, sembro solo più composto
il rumore si è attutito ma son sempre un disgraziato, la chitarra mi accompagna in questo ballo stralunato

RIT. Ero il cantante.... Suonavamo una musica...

Qualche anno fa una band poi si sciolse, ognun per la sua via, provai a fare il cantautore
durante il mio viaggiare un'idea nuova mi colse e ora sono Kamal il menestrello dell'amore.









I WAS THE SINGER OF “THE CATTIES”:

Few years ago I founded a band, ingenuous noise of scowl and love
that young times I will never forget mixing naively trash and whiteness.

I was the singer of The Catties, scurrilous and tremendous rockers
explosion of feverish sounds, ugly mugs with gentle hearts.

Alienated I used to speak with Mr.Reindeer squirming half-naked on a transenna
Diego transformed the drums in a machinegun while Mauri at the bass started the battle
Sergio went to the military service, so Resci came to inflame the dance-halls
we docked as well in Milan to export our sound that was rough and violent but had a good heart.

I was the singer of The Catties, scurrilous and tremendous rockers
explosion of feverish sounds, ugly mugs with gentle hearts.
We used to play a hard music, maybe too much american-style
somebody was scary about it, for us it was just a pagan dance.

Long-haired, freaks, crazy rockers, but we were just four safari's beasts
that used to play a music hard as diamonds, we saw a lot of stalls with just four cats.
The guitar distorted as a chainsaw buzzed in our hears with a demoniac rhythm
I used to sing by throat hypnotized by a witch and also in december I was a bit hot.
Drums that were rolling and the screeching of the crashes
sweat as sand in the middle of the desert, somebody use to tell that we were mad
to verify it at the end of the concert.

I was the singer...
We used to play...

Oh what burning thirst! Down beers! And start the dances! Tavern rock'n'roll!
I've seen four fillies! We are theatricals like saints disguised as whores
Today is started the tour of the insane taverns.
“Goodness knows what sorrow has the mother of that guy!”
but I was a little lamb when I came back home
on the stage I could at last open my heart
now I travel around the world, I am naked and I get off
and if I appreciate the silence and the birds singing
maybe is also for the energy of that diabolic stornellos
if now I lower the volume and I listen to the flute
is because I've never been prudent with rows!

A little bit I've grown-up but I still have the vice to write and sing, I just look more calm
the noise now is muffled but I'm still a rascal, the guitar accompany me in this bewildered dance

I was the singer...
We used to play...

Few years ago one band was dissolved, everyone to his own way, I tried to do the songwriter
during my traveling a new idea came to me and now I'm Kamal, the minstrel of Love.
