Pigliate 'Na Pastiglia

I walk every night
I walk staggering
I never have sleep
I never close my eyes and I don't drink coffee

A shutter that bangs
A streetlight that shines
and a drunkard saying knocking on a door
Do you open, Cunce'?
For three months I don't sleep anymore,
a little mouth would like to forget
People tell me what should I do?
Take a pill
Take a pill, listen to me!
To make me fall asleep
To make me forget
my sweet love
Take a pill
Take a pill, listen to me!
To make me feel
like a great lord
and it intoxicates my heart!
In the shop windows of all the pharmacists
the old chamomile has given way
to the pills and glycerophosphate
bromotelevisionated zero zero three grams.
Ah!
Take a pill, listen to me!

In the dark a cat
chewing a sardine
sweetly looks at me
looks at me if it rubs against me meows and says
Listen to me, go to sleep
Listen to me, go to sleep
I'm a donkey of a cart
Loaded with love
that pulls this heart
this heart that seeks happiness!
For three months I don't sleep anymore,
a little mouth would like to forget
People tell me what should I do?

Take a pill
Take a pill, listen to me!
To make me fall asleep
To make me forget
my sweet love
Take a pill
Take a pill, listen to me!
To make me feel
like a great lord
and it intoxicates my heart!
In the shop windows of all the pharmacists
the old chamomile has given way
to the pills and glycerophosphate
bromotelevisionated zero zero three grams.
Ah!
Take a pill, listen to me!

In the shop windows of all the pharmacists
the old chamomile has given way
to the pills and glycerophosphate
bromotelevisionated ditties, bicarbonate
talcum powder and flaxseed, poultice and semolina
a Florentine rib, bologna, two sandwiches
with half a liter of wine a coffee with caffeine
zero zero three grams.
Ah!
Take a pill
Take a pill
Take a pill
Take a pill, listen to me!
