lyrics

Siamo tutti in fastidio per i nostri futuri, per i nostri decori, i nostri vasi di fiori, per le nostre figlie femmine che si devono sposare senza dote e intanto la Svizzera, quatta quatta, ce lo mette nel … Siamo qui a perder tempo “e perché i re di Francia si chiamavano tutti Luigi?” Se Colombo era italiano, spagnolo, negrebbreo o napoletano e intanto la Svizzera, zitta zitta, ce lo mette nel … E chissà perché negli anni ’60 gli americani ci avevano i Doors, gli inglesi i Beatles e noi chi cazzo ci avevamo? Bobby Solo! Un punkettone diciamo, anarcoinsurrezionalista! Un poeta maledetto! Ma la Svizzera ci aveva Hofmann* e zitta zitta, ce lo metteva nel cervello alè alè! Quando noi si era ancora austroungarici la Svizzera da secoli era già una repubblica di vaccari, come ora, però l’impero romano se lo sognavano loro e il formaggio che si buca è plasticoso, la cioccolata viene dalla negria e gli orologi chissenefrega, ci abbiamo il cellulare, però che ci vuoi fare? Ma la Svizzera quatta quatta, zitta zitta, con le sue banche, ce lo mette nel … Ma facciamogli battaglia una buona volta a quei codardi rinchiusi dentro ai monti che mai parteciparono a guerra alcuna, ma bombardiamoli una buona volta! No? Mah forse è meglio di no, se no poi quelli ci fanno raccogliere tutto: bombe e granate e ci dan pure la multa, meglio di no, và. Poi va beh, non sono neanche male!Anche se, zitti zitti tranqui funky, yonqui tonqui Ay ay ay ay Ce lo mettono nel culo!

*Albert Hofmann (1906-2008) scienziato svizzero, conosciuto soprattutto per aver sintetizzato l'LSD.

ENGLISH LYRICS:

SWITZERLAND
We are all worried about our futures
About our decorum, about our flower pots
About our daughters who need to marry without a dowry
And in the meantime, Switzerland, quietly quietly puts it in…

We are here losing time, discussing,
“Why were all the French kings called Louis?
Was Columbus Italian, Spanish, black, a Jew or Napoletano?”
And in the meantime, Switzerland, bit by bit puts it in…

And who knows why in the 60s the Americans had the Doors,
The English had the Beatles,
And who did we have?
Bobby Solo, super punk, anarchist-insurrectionist and damned poet
But Switzerland had Hofmann and quietly, quietly puts it in our brain.
Yahoo!

When we were still Austro-Hungarian
Switzerland was a republic of cowboys, just like it is now
But they could only dream about the Roman Empire.
Their holey cheese tastes like plastic,
Chocolate comes from Negria
And who cares about clocks and watches?
We have mobile phone, and what can you do?
With its banks, Switzerland quietly, quietly, bit by bit puts it in…

For once, let’s attack those cowards enclosed in the mountains
Who never participated in any war
Let’s bombard them
But maybe it’s better not to
Because then they will obligate us to clean up the bombs and grenades
And then they will penalize us
So it’s better not to do it.

In the end, they are not so bad, even if quietly, quietly, bit by bit, step by step
they put it in our ass.
