Gianmaria Testa - Cordiali Saluti lyrics

Thank you for your collaboration
You were a most esteemed collaborationist
And your great spirit of sacrifice
And all the time you spent
On our common cause will never be forgotten
And in the future you can be sure

We will always take into account
Your noble teachings
And of course your seriousness, versatility
And great humanity more than colleagues
We were family please let me know then
At your earliest convenience
Where to deposit the amount owed
And what remains of your fees

We wanted to give a party, too
Nothing too special
Just a farewell glass of wine but
As you know, your reserve and your aversion
To any form or gesture of greeting
Some thought it arrogance but only because
They didn't really know you
So they've asked me who have always
Been your closest collaborator
Among all those you work with
And please don't trouble yourself to come by
Because we will see to

Returning your personal belongings
And everything else that you left behind
I can't even imagine
All that you'll be able to do
With your time, no longer under a boss
You surely have a passion
A dream, an old desire
And finally the chance arises
To give yourself body and soul
To what only yesterday
Had seemed an illusion

Believe me, it may be true, we're alike
But passions are what make us
Different and a little special
Enclosed please find for your review
The account settlement statement
Along with my most distinguished
Sincerest, and kindest regards
