Text und Übersetzung
Verse
The mayor rehearsed three pages about progress.
Il sindaco ripassò tre pagine sul progresso.
His goat was tied beside the ceremonial ribbon.
La sua capra era legata vicino al nastro cerimoniale.
The scissors shone upon a velvet cushion.
Le forbici brillavano sopra un cuscino di velluto.
The goat considered what a feast she'd been given.
La capra contemplava il banchetto che le era offerto.
Chorus
The mayor's goat has opened up the bridge.
La capra del sindaco ha inaugurato il ponte.
No ribbon left for all our solemn poses.
Nessun nastro rimane per le nostre pose solenni.
The river doesn't care who cuts the fabric.
Al fiume non importa chi taglia la stoffa.
It knows the workers, not their polished speeches.
Conosce gli operai, non i loro discorsi raffinati.
Verse
A child announced the ribbon's disappearance.
Un bambino annunciò la scomparsa del nastro.
The mayor searched his speech for missing lines.
Il sindaco cercò frasi mancanti nel suo discorso.
The workers stood behind the empty platform.
Gli operai stavano dietro il palco vuoto.
Their boots still held the mud beneath the signs.
I loro stivali conservavano fango sotto i cartelli.
Chorus
The mayor's goat has opened up the bridge.
La capra del sindaco ha inaugurato il ponte.
No ribbon left for all our solemn poses.
Nessun nastro rimane per le nostre pose solenni.
The river doesn't care who cuts the fabric.
Al fiume non importa chi taglia la stoffa.
It knows the workers, not their polished speeches.
Conosce gli operai, non i loro discorsi raffinati.
Bridge
He folded all three pages in his pocket.
Piegò tutte e tre le pagine in tasca.
Then asked each worker for a proper name.
Poi chiese a ogni operaio il suo nome.
They crossed the bridge together without scissors.
Attraversarono insieme il ponte senza forbici.
The goat went home without a single medal.
La capra tornò a casa senza una medaglia.
Chorus
The mayor's goat has opened up the bridge.
La capra del sindaco ha inaugurato il ponte.
No ribbon left for all our solemn poses.
Nessun nastro rimane per le nostre pose solenni.
The river doesn't care who cuts the fabric.
Al fiume non importa chi taglia la stoffa.
It knows the workers, not their polished speeches.
Conosce gli operai, non i loro discorsi raffinati.
Outro
The photograph has muddy boots across the foreground.
La fotografia ha stivali infangati in primo piano.
The mayor stands behind them, holding empty scissors.
Il sindaco sta dietro, con le forbici inutilizzate.
