DON CHISCIOTTE - Francesco Guccini

Don Chisciotte - Francesco Guccini e Juan Carlos Biondini El Caballero Don Quijote - Manuel Gutiérrez Aragón (2002) Don Chisciotte è il settimo brano dell'album Stagioni di Francesco Guccini, scritto da Beppe Dati e Goffredo Orlandi con il titolo originale per esteso, Don Chisciotte e Sancho Panza. Guccini vi apportò solo alcune lievi modifiche ai tempi di Cirano, nell'album D'amore di morte e di altre sciocchezze, mentre il titolo venne poi abbreviato e ridepositato presso la SIAE con l'aggiunta della firma del cantautore modenese in qualità di paroliere. Il testo trascrive il dialogo tra i due personaggi del romanzo di Cervantes, in cui lo stesso Guccini veste i panni di Don Chisciotte e Juan Carlos Biondini quelli di Sancho Panza, rivisitando le folli imprese del cavaliere della Mancia e del suo fedele scudiero in chiave metaforica moderna. Riguardo il bel film teatrale di M. Gutiérrez Aragón qualche piccola innocente licenza per così dire artistica se l'è presa qualcun'altro (apologize illo ;) About Love Death (and other follies) I've read a thousand stories about knights errant ventures and victories of the rights on the bullies to be still closed with my books in this room like a lazy coward deaf to all suffering In the world today more than yesterday dominates injustice but of heroic knights we have no more news for this Sancho need above all a generous impulse also was just a crazy dream Fetch me the saddle why my brave commitment I have promised my lovely Dulcinea del Toboso and Sancho I'll give you a castle but don't accept a refusal Come saddle the horse you'll be my squire my shadow comforting and with this pure heart with my shield and Rocinante I'll pierce with spear injustice day and night as is true in La Mancha that my name is Don Quixote This fool is not feeling well need a doctor never being in a good mood best not to contradict him he is the saddest figure ever appeared on earth knight without fear in a lonely war began to love of a woman known inside an inn by the hour where she is a prostitute but thinking to have seen a real princess he wanted at all costs make her that promise and so long we take only kick ass without do not know where we are without eating and nor drinking and this wild madman which is the most naive of children just yesterday crashed himself against the blades of windmills He is a stubborn an idealist with too many dreams in the brain Instead I'm more realistic and settle for a castle He will appoint me governor and I will have plenty of land as it's true that I also have a heart and my name is Sancho Panza Sancho get up it's late you would not want sleep still only cowards and cynics don't wake up at dawn for the first is indifference and contempt for the values and for the others is reluctance in respect of duties Injustice isn't the only evil that's devouring the world the soul of man have often hit rock bottom but we must act quickly because as time passes the enemy is shadowy and become entangled skein About this be a foreshadowing of things the other day when he saw those helpless sheep he attacked them as if were an army of Moors so that at the end have bitten us than dogs even shepherds Was plain like day is not it my Lord? I may be coward and sleepyhead but not a traitor I only believe in what I see and the reality for me is the only one rule I own as it's true that now I'm hungry Sancho listen me please also I was a realist but now almost I don't care and even if I have a good view appearance serves me correctly I prefer surprises of my tyrannical soul that turns with its tricks the fact here before but opens me other eyes and lights up new feelings Earlier today I was bored and wanted even die but now I'm a different man that is not afraid to suffer My Lord unfortunately I am a poor ignorant and about his speech abstract understood little or nothing but even if courage take me off the laziness could we alone never bring justice? In a world where evil is at home and always won where reigns capital nowadays more and more ruthlessly can he succeed with this nag and this idle squire to defeat the power and save the whole world? Dear Sancho want you say that I should pull back because the evil and the power look so gloomy? And besides I should give up a little bit of dignity but it's hard for me to accept that this is the reality? Power is the garbage of the human history and although we are only two romantic scraps will spit our hearts in the face of injustice day and night We are the heroes of La Mancha Don Quixote and Sancho Panza!
