Testo · Lyrics
The chant.
[Intro, night sounds + propeller sputter] Zzz... zzz... no. No dormire. DECOLLO NOTTURNO! [Verse 1 — Crocodrillo, whisper-shout] Le stelle sono piccole ma il cielo e grande, il mio biplano di cartone non ha paura del vento. Un espresso nella coda, un sogno nella testa, stanotte volo in alto — stanotte e una festa! [Pre-chorus, engine hum] Bombo... bombo... bombo... [Chorus] La Luna Polpetta, la Luna Polpetta, rotonda e calda come una ricetta! La Luna Polpetta, la Luna Polpetta, un espresso per te — buonanotte, buonanotte! [Verse 2 — Moon, warm and round] Sono qui da sempre, rotonda e sola, nessuno mi visita, nessuno mi consola. Ma stasera un coccodrillo con un caffe in mano mi dice "ciao, polpetta" — e il cielo e meno lontano. [Chorus — duet] La Luna Polpetta, la Luna Polpetta, rotonda e calda come una ricetta! La Luna Polpetta, la Luna Polpetta, un espresso per te — buonanotte, buonanotte! [Bridge — Seagull Chorus, lullaby] Buonanotte, buonanotte, polpetta nel cielo. Buonanotte, buonanotte, un caffe, un volo, un sogno vero. [Final chorus — both + gulls] La Luna Polpetta, la Luna Polpetta, rotonda e calda come una ricetta! La Luna Polpetta, la Luna Polpetta, un espresso per te — buonanotte, buonanotte! [Outro, Crocodrillo glides home, whispered] Atterraggio... sul cuscino.
Storyboard
Shot by shot.
- 01Night. Crocodrillo in his hangar, tossing on a tiny cot. Eyes snap open.
- 02He pours an espresso. Looks up through the hangar roof at the moon. Decision face.
- 03Biplane taxiing across the moonlit piazza. Fountain glitters.
- 04Takeoff — climbing through clouds. Stars appear one by one.
- 05He reaches the Meatball Moon. It's enormous. Steam rises. It has a face — sleepy, gentle, surprised.
- 06Moon speaks. Its voice is warm and echoey. It's been lonely.
- 07Crocodrillo produces a second espresso from somewhere. Hands it to the Moon. The Moon's face lights up.
- 08Duet: they sing the chorus together. Crocodrillo orbits the Moon in slow circles. Seagull Chorus drifts past on a cloud.
- 09Bridge: lullaby tempo. Stars pulse gently. Moon's eyes droop contentedly.
- 10Crocodrillo glides home, whisper-landing on his cot. Moon watches from above, smiling. Logo stinger with a star twinkle.
