The Leopard
Things have to change just to stay the same
The leopard changed its spots again and again
Too late to save the house of Savoy
Umberto 2 said the last goodbye
In '48 it was time for a change
The referendum marked the end of an age
One house and one millennium
Umberto 1 to Umberto 2 again
To Shepard
In every room of the house in Sicily
They had a leopard on every piece of livery
On all the flags that took delivery
On all the buildings and the burnt out monasteries
Feltrinelli jumped like a jaguar
Typing Olivetti typewriter
A man of letters and an agent of change
Yet the power of pens could not contain his rage
To Shepard
The leopard changed its spots again and again
Too late to save the house of Savoy
Umberto 2 said the last goodbye
In '48 it was time for a change
The referendum marked the end of an age
One house and one millennium
Umberto 1 to Umberto 2 again
To Shepard
In every room of the house in Sicily
They had a leopard on every piece of livery
On all the flags that took delivery
On all the buildings and the burnt out monasteries
Feltrinelli jumped like a jaguar
Typing Olivetti typewriter
A man of letters and an agent of change
Yet the power of pens could not contain his rage
To Shepard
