He bought them very cheaply
They were full of sand
He cleaned them with turps every two hours.
He fed them soup
when they threw up, he kept quiet
He took them to the movies every two days.

But one day he got up
still sleepy
Looked for the boots in the cupboard.
And in the place they should have been
only socks remained
and they told him what had happened......that -

Shoes - are bought quickly
And socks are plentiful
But boots and pants
that are bought as a set
are very difficult to obtain at the moment.

(play, play guitar)

On his way he went, barefoot,
sniffly and tired
all of him deeply depressed.
When he asked a passersby
if he's seen his boots
only politeness forced him to reply.

Baruch travelled from village to city
In a very shattered mood.
The depression in his mind went crazy
When he turned to the 'office of missing relatives'
the clerk got really mad at him.

Shoes.................

And here, near a farm
he filled his water-bottle
and saw footprints made recently
And suddenly between the bushes
he heard whisperings
he saw them - in the arms of another man.

He didn't know what to do
whether to laugh or cry
nevertheless, he took out his handkerchief.
He took the guy to the side
pulled out his revolver
and fired a bullet into his bottom. Because.....

Shoes.................

So the other guy said: "Sorry"
folded the blanket
and went home without making trouble
And from then until today
whether in rain or heat
they are sewed on to his bones. Because....

Shoes.................

And if you don't believe this story
Ask Baruch.

GLI STIVALI DI BENEDETTO

A buon prezzo comperati,

eran tutti infangati,

li pulì, come faceva la mammà.

Ogni tanto un buon brodino,

si rimisero un pochino,

poi tre volte a settimana al cinemà.

Ma un mattino, appena alzato,

lui si mise, assonnato,

a cercare gli stivali nel cassetto.

Dove c'erano i piccini

son rimasti i pedalini,

che gli spiegano la logica del ratto:

Scarponi e ghette tu troverai,

e le calzette non mancan mai,

ma gli stivali ed i calzoni,

che si compran sempre in set,

se l'hai trovati, te li tieni strett!

Scalzo e rosso per lo smacco

Se ne uscì, confuso e stracco

e cosciente del valore della posta.

Quando chiese a sconosciuti

se li avevano veduti,

figuratevi da soli la risposta.

Gli stivali Benedetto

cercò in ogni angoletto,

non trovandoli, era proprio disperato

quando fece al fin ricorso

all' “Ufficio dei dispersi”,

là lo prese a parolacce l'impiegato.

Scarponi...

Poi, accanto a una casaccia,

riempiendo la borraccia,

vide orme conosciute, fatte adesso.

D'improvviso, tra i cespugli,

lui sentì certi bisbigli

e li vide tra le braccia di quel desso.

Non sapeva cosa fare,

se sorridere o frignare,

ma comunque il fazzoletto prese in mano,

poi estrasse la pistola,

gli sparò una volta sola

e lo prese proprio dritto al deretano.

Scarponi...

Chiese scusa il rapitore,

sopraffatto dal dolore,

con la coda tra le gambe se la dette.

Ma, per esser più sicuro

di non perderli in futuro,

gli stivali li ha cuciti sulle fette.

Scarponi...
