The Italian

Let me sing
with a guitar in my hand
Let me sing
I am Italian.
 
Good Morning Italy with your spaghetti
and your partisan for President
with my hand on the radio
and a canary on the window
 
Good Morning Italy with your artists
with your many American posters
with your songs of love
with kind hearts
with more women still less nuns (more women not becoming nuns?)
 
Good Morning Italy
Good Morning Mother Mary
with eyes full of sadness
Good Morning God
I know you know I am here.
 
Let me sing
with a guitar in hand
Let me sing
a song, slowly, slowly
Let me sing
because I am proud
I am an Italian
A genuine/real Italian.
 
Good Morning Italy who doesn't scare
with peppermint flavored toothpaste
with a pinstripe blue suit
with slow moving Sundays on TV
Good Morning Italy with extra-strong espresso coffee
the new sock from the drawer
with the clean flag (flag that switched sides/flag that was clean)
a 600 (type of car I can't think of)
 
Good Morning Italy
Good Morning Mother Mary
with eyes full of sadness
Good Morning God
I know you know I'm here.
 
Let me sing
with a guitar in my hand
Let me sing
a song, slowly, slowly
Let me sing
because I am proud
I am Italian
A geniuine/real Italian.

Some corrections :
and with peppermint flavored shaving cream.
caffe' ristretto : very strong but very, very short too
With a dent 600 : It's a small and very common FIAT car

There are numerous mistakes and missing parts in this translation. I believe number 6 is completely on point. You fellows could take a look at that one.
