  1. Lei sfogliava i suoi ricordi

    She was leafing through her memories

  2. Le sue istantanee, i suoi tabù

    Her snapshots, her taboos

  3. Le sue Madonne, i suoi rosari

    Her Madonnas, her rosaries

  4. E mille mari e alalà

    And a thousand seas and alalà

  5. I suoi vestiti di lino e seta

    Her linen and silk clothes

  6. Le calze a rete, Marlene e Charlot

    The fishnet stockings, Marlene and Charlot

  7. E dopo giugno il gran conflitto

  8. E poi l'Egitto e un'altra età

    And then Egypt and another age

  9. Marce, svastiche e federali

    Marches, swastikas, and federals

  10. Sotto i fanali, l'oscurità

    Under the streetlights, the darkness

  11. E poi il ritorno in un paese diviso

    And then the return to a divided land

  12. Più nero nel viso, più rosso d'amore

    Blacker in the face, redder with love

  13. Aida, come sei bella

    Aida, how beautiful you are

  14. Aida, le tue battaglie

    Aida, your battles

  15. I compromessi, la povertà

    The compromises, the poverty

  16. I salari bassi, la fame bussa

    The low wages, hunger knocks

  17. Il terrore russo, Cristo e Stalin

    The Russian terror, Christ and Stalin

  18. Aida, la costituente

    Aida, the founding assembly

  19. La democrazia e chi ce l'ha

    The democracy and who has it

  20. E poi trent'anni di safari

    And then thirty years of safari

  21. Fra antilopi e giaguari, sciacalli e lapin

    Among antelopes and jaguars, jackals and rabbits

  22. Aida, come sei bella

    Aida, how beautiful you are
