Lyrics

Greca, nascesti a New York,
e li' passasti la tua infanzia con genitori e niente di speciale.
Fu un giorno che tua madre stanca dell’America e di suo marito,
prese i bagagli e le vostre mani,
vi riporto' indietro nella terra degli Dei.
Eri una ragazzina assai robusta.
Non sapevi ancora di essere divina…
ci hai spezzato per sempre il cuore.
Ti strinse forte il successo ballo' fino a sera con te la musica non ti scordera' mai.
Viaggiasti e il mondo stringesti.
Ti accoglievano navi, aerei e treni,
invidie, gelosie e devozione.
Un vile ti rubo' serenita' e talento.
Un vile ti rubo' serenita'. Un vile ti rubo'.
Divinita' dalla suprema voce
la tua temporalita' mi e' entrata nelle ossa.

Lyrics translation

Greek, you were born in New York,
and that's where you spent your childhood with parents and nothing special.
It was one day that your mother tired of America and her husband,
took your luggage and your hands,
he brought you back to the Land of the Gods.
You were a very strong little girl.
You didn't know you were divine yet.…
you broke our hearts forever.
He held you tight the success dance till evening with you the music will never forget you.
You traveled and the world tightened.
Ships, planes and trains welcomed you,
envy, jealousy and devotion.
A vile stole your serenity and talent.
A vile stole your serenity. A vile stole from you.
Divinity from the Supreme voice
your Tempest got into my bones.
