lyrics

IO SONO LA SCIMMIA

Io sono la scimmia e vivo sulle spalle
della gentaglia che popola codesta valle
una volta stavo al circo a far la saltimbanca
e c'avevo pure un conticino in banca

Ora sono al verde ma sono felice
son solo una scimmia, non son più un'attrice
ma sono ancor più bella di quando ero truccata
brilo come una stella innamorata

Io sono la scimmia e sono un po' pelosa
ma sempre fresca e profumata come una rosa
vesto naturale,poco e mica male
sono proprio un bellissimo animale

Io sono la scimmia e sono la più bella
nella jungla sfilo come in passerella
sono il tuo animale totem,forse un sogno o giù di lì
ma cosa importa? accarezzami!

Io sono la scimmia e incarno ciò in cui credi
ti conosco tutto dalla testa ai piedi
a me non puoi mentire nemmeno se ti impegni
io so interpretar tutti i tuoi segni (e volendo pure i sogni)

Poi di tanto in tanto io mi accuatto un poco
e quantomeno te l'aspetti ricomincia il gioco
io sono la scimmia per chi non l'ha afferrato
sono un
paradiso incontaminato.


























I AM THE MONKEY:

I am The Monkey and I live on the shoulders of the bad people that live in this valley
in the past I've been living in a circus and I use to be an acrobat
and I had as well a small bank account.

Now I am poor but I am happy, I'm just a monkey, not an actress anymore
but I am much prettier than when I was made up, I twinkle as a star in love.

I am The Monkey and I am a bit hairy but always fresh and perfumed like a rose
I dress naturally, just a little and not bad, I am really a fantastic animal.

I am The Monkey and I am the most beautiful, I the jungle I parade like on the catwalk
I am your totem animal, maybe a dream or something like that
but doesn't matter, please caress me!

I am The Monkey and I embody all your beliefs, I know all of you, from the head to the feet
You cannot lie to me, not even if you engage yourself in it, I can interpret all your signs
(and if I want as well the dreams).

Them sometimes I take a rest, but when you are not expecting it the game starts again
I am The Monkey, for who didn't understand yet, I am an uncontaminated paradise.
