Enrico Ruggeri 'Trans'

Beautiful song about transgenders and transsexuals and our life. It's in Italian, but I have translated the lyrics below.
Ruggeri really showed understanding and compassion with this song
part of this song anyone of us can relate to it, and part only those that have been less fortunate, work-wise....
(Sorry for the low quality of the video, I am quite new at encoding, and for some reason I couldn't upload a flv file...)

If you all saw me during the day
carrying the grocery bags
walking round the block
chewing some insult thrown at me
if you all saw me washing, cleaning
hanging some posters up
you would stare
without laughing at my gestures
if you all heard me talking
disregarding my voice
I'd start telling
that which no one tells, that which no one knows

a story of doubts
and of escapes from home
of wrong clothes
and of some useless delays
and of enraged ostentations
and the lyrics of the songs
that have never been written for me

and I'd like to go out
without those engine noises
and breathe hope
without any more foreign clinics
that can't guess who's hidden inside me
If I had some life too
I'd like to spend it my way with you

you who are ashamed in the morning
you who never introduce me to anyone
you who hide me in the kitchen
when you're waiting for somebody
and the same people
who laugh at my voice
they too have a cross too bear
that which nobody tells, that which no one knows

Stories like Pasolini's
in the narrow cars
with baby's seats behind
and cigarettes
and the words so harsh
lover's conversations
are not for me

and I
'd like to have a name
same as the one in my documents
and my relatives speaking to me
I'd like to spend a beautiful Christmas
taking pictures
I'd like to laugh with you

If some life is left who knows what place will there be for me
If I had some life too
I'd like to spend it my way with you
If some life is left who knows what place will there be for me
