[Verse 1] Canada signed a billion with Riyadh, shook the hand, Now Bloomberg's asking is that contract built on sand, Security's shaky, the partners second-guessing, A safe bet yesterday is now an open question. Meanwhile under the water, cables run like veins, The Cairo Review's mapping out who holds the reins, Data corridors threading through the Middle East floor, Whoever owns the line decides who's keeping score. [Chorus] Notizie dal Golfo, stasera parliamo piano, (Gulf news tonight, we're speaking soft and slow) Oil is climbing, tensions rising, nothing's standing still, Tutto cambia, amico, world keeps turning on a dime, Stay close, stay listening, we're breaking down the time. [Verse 2] Friday closed with crude up more than two percent clean, WTI and Brent both finished strongest week they've seen, October's tally crossed thirteen percent in the ledger, Attacks intensify, the barrel feels the pressure. Reuters drops the wire: non-emergency staff told go, Washington pulls people out, risk level running low, Across the pond the UK's flagging sixteen nations tight, Flight chaos warning posted, double-check before you fly tonight. [Chorus] Notizie dal Golfo, stasera parliamo piano, Oil is climbing, tensions rising, nothing's standing still, Tutto cambia, amico, world keeps turning on a dime, Stay close, stay listening, we're breaking down the time. [Verse 3] Trump says Vance mailed a letter, aiming to assist, Iran gets medicine talk, a softer item on the list, Saudi shuts the gate on Kenya, Ebola fears run high, Travel and entry paused while the health risk hovers nearby, NATO's chief sat down with Saudi's own defense man, Talking through the tension, trying to build a steadier plan, Eight headlines, one region, pressure stacking floor to ceiling, Piano piano, world, we're only halfway through the feeling. [Verse 4] Markets watching tankers thread the Strait of Hormuz line, Insurance premiums climbing like the shipping lanes incline, Analysts debating if the rally's got more room, Or if the whole thing's teetering, a slow-approaching doom, Diplomats keep shuttling between Riyadh and DC, Back-channel conversations nobody's meant to see, The desk keeps humming, phones keep ringing, nothing ever pauses, Every single headline hides a dozen deeper causes. [Bridge] Sotto il mare i cavi parlano di potere, (Under the sea the cables speak of power) Sopra il deserto il petrolio sale, leggero come un mistero, Watch the barrel, watch the border, watch the quiet diplomat, Ogni notizia un filo, we're just tracing where it's at. [Outro] That's the Gulf for October thirty-first, wrapped and told, Billion-dollar doubts, cables, crude, and calm words cold, Grazie mille, torneremo, same desk, same Rhodes tomorrow, News keeps moving, so do we — ciao for now, no sorrow.
