Era stupendo

It was wonderful

C'è una parte di me There's a part of me
Che tacere non sa That can't be silenced
Quando guardo l'odio che c'è When I look at the hatred there is
Il dolore, la povertà The pain, the poverty
Mi rivedo bambino io I see myself again as a child
Che correvo nel blu Running in the blue
  
Era stupendo volare via It was wonderful to fly away
Sfidare il vento, la fantasia To challenge the wind, the imagination
La tua mano e la mia Your hand and mine
Nella stessa poesia In the same poetry
Era stupendo It was wonderful
  
Ma una notte vedrai But one night you'll see
Dal destino uscirò, giuro I'll escape from fate, I swear
Se la vita ci aspetterà If life will wait for us
Torneremo laggiù We'll go back down there
  
Sarà stupendo volare via It'll be wonderful to fly away
Sfidare ancora la fantasia To still challenge the imagination
E poi la tua mano e la mia And then your hand and mine
Nella stessa poesia In the same poetry
Era stupendo It was wonderful
Era stupendo It was wonderful
  
Perchè non c'è pace, finché Because there's no peace, as long
Tutti pensano a sé As everyone thinks of himself
  
Era stupendo volare via It was wonderful to fly away
Sfidare il vento, la fantasia To challenge the wind, the imagination
La tua mano e la mia Your hand and mine
Nella stessa poesia In the same poetry
Era stupendo It was wonderful
Era stupendo It was wonderful
