GUEST,marcelloblues Lyr Req: Se questo รจ un uomo (Italian) (21) RE: Italian mudcatters:you have the words of 14 Sep 00

today I learn something about my culture, this is really great. I don't think it has anything to do with nazy. Obviously Primo Levi was an italian jew writer who experienced detention in a nazy detention camp, but the pain he describes in these words, is related to hard workin' and bein' left down (something like "Nobody Knows You When You're Down & Out"). There's a great unseen link between farm workin' in pre-war Italy and MS Delta Blues.

I think the first line should be translated as: Would you pretend to call this a man?

Cheers, blues the hardway Marcello
