Da qualche giorno gira sul web un simpatico video pubblicato su YouYube dal Consolato USA di Milano sul proprio canale ufficiale.
Perché noi italiani in fondo siamo simpatici, un po’ rumorosi, ma decisamente simpatici e, a quanto pare, all’estero ci vedono anche come dei gran… gesticolatori, al punto da farci un video girato nel capoluogo lombardo.
Per chi, come me, l’inglese non è mai riuscito ad impararlo decentemente, hanno avuto l’ottima idea di fare un rap-karaoke in cui l’ometto americano dotato di cappellino da baseball rosso, sbarca in Stazione Centrale su un moderno Frecciarossa. Eccolo:
TESTO:
Just arrived in Italy I’m here in Milan
Tried to buy a coffee but couldn’t get it done
tried to buy some water they gave me some good wine
man I’ve got enough of this, I gotta change my life
Colleagues at the Consulate said “You’ve gotta learn”
We’ve got a good teacher you’ll speak by the end of term
Found her on the phone list set up a meeting now
gotta speak italian, I just don’t know how
Teacher SOS I need your help
I wanna learn to talk with my hands
I am hungry, you are crazy
This is perfect, time to go
There is nothing, I don’t care
Full of people, are you scared?
Have some water, drink some wine
Get a coffee, take your time
This and that, so and so
What do you want? You must go
Italians use their hands to speak but we do not
teacher said I gotta learn to feel that I belong
I’m gonna to classes I’m gonna to study hard
I’ll learn to move my hands and this is just a start
Teacher SOS I need your help
I wanna learn to talk with my hands
I am hungry, you are crazy
This is perfect, time to go
There is nothing, I don’t care
Full of people, are you scared?
Have some water, drink some wine
Get a coffee, take your time
This and that, so and so
What do you want? You must go
I am hungry, you are crazy
This is perfect, time to go
There is nothing, I don’t care
Full of people, are you scared?
Have some water, drink some wine
Get a coffee, take your time
This and that, so and so
What do you want? You must go
