BANDITO SENZA TEMPOOUTLAW OUT OF TIME
  
Un tempo fu un banditoOnce he was a outlaw
bandito senza tempooutlaw out of time
uccise un presidentehe killed a president
ne ferì altri centoand wounded one hundred more
  
Forse fu a vent’anniMaybe it was in his twenties
o forse due di menoor maybe two less
era con Gaetano Brescihe was with Gaetano Bresci
sopra una nave lungo il Tirreno.on a ship over the Tyrrhenian sea
  
Giocarono a tresetteThey played three and seven*
tresette con il mortothree and seven with the dead
il terzo era un gendarmethe third was a officer
il quarto un re dal fiato cortothe fourth a breathless king
  
un tempo fu a MilanoOnce he was on Milan
dove si va a lavorarewhere they go to work
c’erano tante bandethere were as many gangs
quante banche da rapinare.as banks to rob
  
Forse fu per casoMaybe it was by chance
che con Pietro Cavallerothat with Pietro Cavallero
fece la comparsahe made an appearance
in un film in bianco e nero.in a black and white movie
  
Gli diedero fuciliThey gave him rifles
e pistole di terza manoand third hand guns
un passaporto falsoa fake passport
per fuggire via lontano.to run far away
  
Un tempo per pauraOnce for fear
o forse per coraggioor maybe for courage
si fece catturarehe turned himself in
alla catena di montaggioon the assembly line
  
Quel tempo chi lo ricordaAt the time who recalls
lo Stato aveva mal di cuorethe state was sick in the heart
così a Renato Curcioso to Renato Curcio
chiese in prestito nuove parole.it asked to borrow new words
  
Con quelle partì all’assaltoWith those he went to the assault
di nuovi mulini a ventoof new windmills
incontrò anche un sorrisohe also met a smile
lungo la strada che porta a Trento.on the road that leads to Trento
  
Un tempo questo tempoOnce this time
con un’arma un po’ specialewith a somewhat special gun
una Magnum Les Paula Magnum les Paul
spara canzoni che fanno male.He shots songs that hurt
  
Ora ha una nuova bandaNow he has got a new gang
e un fazzoletto rosso e neroand a red and black hanky
quando attacca “I Fought the Lawwhen he starts "I Fought the Law"
fa saltare il mondo intero.the world blows up
  
Ma un tempo fu un banditoBut once he was a outlaw
bandito senza tempoa outlaw out of time
veniva con la pioggiahe came with the rain
e se ne andava via col vento….and he left with the wind
* Card game
