Lyrics

Dio com’ero vecchio quando non ceri tu nemmeno nello specchio mi riconosco più
Dio com’ero grigio senza i tuoi colori
e successo quel prodigio che si chiama amore
seduto in ufficio col colletto inamidato
dietro le sbarre del mio bel vestito rigato
respiravo appena e per poco ci sarei rimasto
ma tu sei venuta un sorriso e mi ai liberato
Dio com’ero vecchio quando non ceri tu nemmeno nello specchio mi riconosco più
Dio com’ero grigio senza i tuoi colori
e successo quel prodigio che si chiama amore
Mi facevo piccolo per non disturbare la gente
lasciavo lo spazio a chi si credeva importante
e tutti i miei sogni gli schieravo nella mia mente
ma oggi mi ami e di colpo mi sento un gigante
Dio com’ero vecchio quando non ceri tu nemmeno nello specchio mi riconosco più
Dio com’ero grigio senza i tuoi colori
e successo quel prodigio che si chiama amore
Dio com’ero vecchio quando non ceri tu nemmeno nello specchio mi riconosco più
Dio com’ero grigio senza i tuoi colori
e successo quel prodigio che si chiama amore

Lyrics translation

God how old I was when you don't even ask in the mirror I recognize myself more
God how I was gray without your colors
it happened that prodigy that is called Love
sitting in the office with starched collar
behind the bars of my beautiful striped dress
I was barely breathing, and I'd almost be there.
but you came a smile and set me free
God how old I was when you don't even ask in the mirror I recognize myself more
God how I was gray without your colors
it happened that prodigy that is called Love
I was growing up so I wouldn't bother people.
I was giving space to those who thought they were important.
and all my dreams were in my mind
but today you love me and suddenly I feel like a giant
God how old I was when you don't even ask in the mirror I recognize myself more
God how I was gray without your colors
it happened that prodigy that is called Love
God how old I was when you don't even ask in the mirror I recognize myself more
God how I was gray without your colors
it happened that prodigy that is called Love
