Lyrics
Ragazzi che guardavano le nuvole
Distesi sul confine dell’Oceano
Sognavano di essere più liberi
Contando i giorni uguali che passavano
Ragazze con lo scialle ricamavano
Sedute sui gradini color ebano
Guardavano l’azzurro aperto e limpido
E all’ombra di un rimpianto continuavano
Era casa mia
Era un posto semplice
Qualcuno un giorno
Mi ha portato via
Era casa mia
Ero cosi giovane
E non ho fatto in tempo
Neanche a piangere
Persone che non sanno perché corrono
Sorridono anche se non si divertono
E son sinceri solo quando dormono
Guardavano l’azzurro aperto e limpido
E all’ombra di un rimpianto continuavano
Diversi dagli amici che mi mancano
Era casa mia
Era un posto semplice
Qualcuno un giorno
Mi ha portato via
Era casa mia
Ero cosi giovane
E non ho fatto in tempo
Neanche a piangere
Guardavano l’azzurro aperto e limpido
E all’ombra di un rimpianto continuavano
E in certe sere quando il vento soffierà
Riporterà il profumo dei vent’anni miei
Ed io che per la vita lo respirerei
Dovrò fermare il tempo per un attimo
Era casa mia
Lyrics translation
Guys watching the clouds
Lying on the border of the ocean
They dreamed of being freer
Counting the same days that passed
Girls with shawl embroidered
Sitting on Ebony steps
They looked at the open and clear blue
And in the shadow of a regret they continued
It was my house.
It was a simple place
Someone one day
He took me away
It was my house.
I was so young
And I did not in time
Not even to cry
People who do not know why they run
They smile even if they don't have fun
And they are sincere only when they sleep
They looked at the open and clear blue
And in the shadow of a regret they continued
Other than the friends I miss
It was my house.
It was a simple place
Someone one day
He took me away
It was my house.
I was so young
And I did not in time
Not even to cry
They looked at the open and clear blue
And in the shadow of a regret they continued
And some nights when the wind blows
It will bring back the scent of my twenty years
And I that for life I would breathe it
I'll have to stop time for a moment
It was my house.
