DESCRIPTION OF CONTENTS:

‘’Torno a casa, siamo in tanti sul treno… occhi stanchi ma nel cuore il sereno’’ .
This is the beginning of Equipe 84’s song, Casa Mia (“Home”). Equipe 84 was a pop band very known in the Sixties and Seventies.
The text talks about the sadness and the homesickness of a man who returns home, after months of work, coming back to Italy to see his beloved wife. The song ends with the return of this man in his ‘‘working country’’, bound to leave his family again and to go back to a country where nobody can understand him and his language.

COMMENTS ON THIS DOCUMENT:

What is emphasized in this song is the regret of this man returning back home to his family just for a while because of his work abroad. When he returns, he recovers all the things and the emotional bonds he had left, like his wife, the language and so on. But this brief happiness is fated to disappear since he will have to go back to the foreign country, where he works also to support economically the same family he had to leave.
