For those who came across this 2008 classic, but don't know the Italian language, here is the English translation; the song in question, starting from the story of a comical event between an old man and a terrible bongo player, is actually a song denouncing the events of "Bosco di Gioia", a wood once located in Milan that in 2005 the municipality decided to have torn down to build an office complex, "Palazzo Lombardia", despite strong protests. N.B.: Below the lyrics, you will find a mini-glossary for some terms and nonsense familiar almost exclusively to Italians; if something about the lyrics is not clear, write it in the comments. Parco Sempione Parco Sempione*, green and brown, inside my city I put my cell phone on vibrate, I read a good book, I'm looking for some relaxation Suddenly, without warning, I hear a "pim pam pum" A hippie, maybe on drugs, plays and won't stop (Bongos) This fact (upsets) me, because he plays like (shit) He has no sense of (rhythm), and I don't read the (book) anymore I really think I'll (get up), I'll go ask him (why) He decided that (damn it), nothing will stop him today Stop with these bongos, we're not in Africa You have long hair but you have to practice You're always out of time, that way you're killing Africa Which may have a lot of problems, but certainly not the rhythm one **Come on, bum, try to play better That I'm making my feet dance Even though I'm eighty years old I go to the dance hall with my wife Oh, what a drag! You're breaking my ears You, your flip-flops and your bongos Dear sir, you know what I say? This is freedom I'm on drugs, I play bad***, even if you don't like it I don't keep time, I've known for a long time, it's nothing new I don't give a damn, I really enjoy it thanks to my "pim pum pam" (Bongos) This thing (upsets) me, and I feel like (shit) Maybe it's better if I (sit down), and listen a little (better) Maybe I'm (wrong), maybe I'm (mistaken) Maybe a big (fuck), you suck, this is the truth Now I'm going to smash your bongos to avenge Africa The one that cooked the explorer in the pot You dress like a rasta, but that, no, is not enough You may not have any problems, but you certainly have the rhythm one ****Hey! I'll kick you in the ass Go to hell! You can sell your chocolate too! There it is what happens in all cities I play the bongos, you smash them At this rate, where will we end up? This is why some people think it's more practical To raze a wood that's considered useless This kind of thing has never been seen in Africa Which may have many problems but certainly not the woods one I'd like to play the bongos as if I were in Africa Under the dwarf oak in the Porta Genova***** area Sixteen thousand signatures, no food for Rocco Tanica***** But they razed that wood while people were away on vacation****** They didn't give a damn, now they're building a palace They destroyed "Bosco di Gioia", these great sons of bitches [ *Parco Sempione: is a large city park in the historic center of Milan, region of Lombardy, Italy, and therefore the place where the events narrated in the song are set **Come on, bum...: the verse in question is sung in Milanese dialect ***I play bad: intentional grammatical error to convey the simplicity and lack of culture of the bongo player ****Hey! I'll kick you in the ass: another verse sung in Milanese dialect *****Porta Genova: well-known district of Milan, translated "Genoa gate" *****Rocco Tanica: keyboardist of the band in question, he openly fasted in a camper parked in front of the woods, as a sign of protest ******people were away on vacation: during the month of December, taking advantage of the festive holidays and the freezing weather, the municipality carried out the deforestation almost undisturbed ]

"Dai barbone, cerca di suonare meglio, ché sono qui a far ballare i piedi, anche se ho 80 anni, vado giù in balera con mia moglie. Ué, che due balle, mi fai scoppiare le orecchie, tu, le tue ciabatte e i tuoi bonghi." Più avanti:"Ué, ti tiro un calcio nel sedere, vai a quel paese, puoi vendere soltanto il tuo cioccolato".
