In un vortice di polvere 
gli altri vedevan siccità, 
a me ricordava 
la gonna di Jenny 
in un ballo di tanti anni fa. 

Sentivo la mia terra 
vibrare di suoni, era il mio cuore 
e allora perché coltivarla ancora, 
come pensarla migliore. 

Libertà l'ho vista dormire 
nei campi coltivati 
a cielo e denaro, 
a cielo ed amore, 
protetta da un filo spinato. 

Libertà l'ho vista svegliarsi 
ogni volta che ho suonato 
per un fruscio di ragazze 
a un ballo, 
per un compagno ubriaco. 

E poi se la gente sa, 
e la gente lo sa che sai suonare, 
suonare ti tocca 
per tutta la vita 
e ti piace lasciarti ascoltare. 

Finii con i campi alle ortiche 
finii con un flauto spezzato 
e un ridere rauco 
ricordi tanti 
e nemmeno un rimpianto.
