I Dance

By Claudio Pozzani

I dance the dance of brilliant ideas

hoping that you will tell me something new

I dance the dance of the losers and the lost

knowing that my steps will be in vain

I dance the dance of the happy naive

thinking that my sweat will help somebody

I dance the dance of the profiteers

and I will dance until you’ll pay me

And I dance I dance I dance

to overcome my arrogance

I dance I dance I dance

the why has no importance

I dance the dance of the damned

because the spleen reaches my thorax

I dance the dance of the presumptuous

Because you too are one of them if you think you’re in my league

I dance the dance of the undesired

I’ve trained myself a lot in front of closed doors

I dance the dance of the intollerants

Can you move over a little, please?

And I dance I dance I dance

until I’ll remain standing

I dance I dance I dance

because it’s you who are asking
