Lyrics
Ed il gioco continua
Ogni giorno ed ogni notte, sempre
Come prima forse più di prima
E nessuno vince mai!
Tutti iscritti alla gara
È una gara a chi arriva prima
Alla fine non si vince niente
Ma nessuno lo sa… ah ah!
Oh the games people play now
Every night and every day now
Never meaning what they say now
Never saying what they mean
Na na na na na na-nì
Na na na na na-nì
È una gara a chi arriva prima
E nessuno vince mai!
C'è chi dice che non serve a niente
Che sì corre sempre inutilmente
Che va avanti solo chi ha fortuna
O chi è figlio di papà
C'è chi corre e non ha più fiato
Ma chi l’aiuta è squalificato
Ed allora è un concorrente in meno
E forse e meglio così… ah ah!
Oh the games people play now
Every night and every day now
Never meaning what they say now
Never saying what they mean
Na na na na na na-nì
Na na na na na-nì
È una gara a chi arriva prima
E nessuno vince mai!
E tu bambina con lo sguardo dolce
Che continui imperterrita a sognare
Come vorrei non deluderti
Come vorrei farti volare
Ma ieri quelli dell’ufficio opinioni
Mi hanno chiesto d’urgenza un disco nuovo
Io quest’estate volevo portarti al mare
E invece devo stare al gioco!
Oh the games people play now
Every night and every day now
Never meaning what they say now
Never saying what they mean
Na na na na na na-nì
Na na na na na-nì
È una gara a chi arriva prima
E nessuno vince mai!
Na na na na na na-nì
Na na na na na-nì
È una gara a chi arriva prima
E nessuno vince mai!
Oh the games people play now
Every night and every day now
Never meaning what they say now
Never saying what they mean
Na na na na na na-nì
Na na na na na-nì
È una gara a chi arriva prima
E nessuno vince mai!
Oh the games people play now
Every night and every day now
Never meaning what they say now
Never saying what they mean
Na na na na na na-nì
Na na na na na-nì
È una gara a chi arriva prima
E nessuno vince mai!
Oh the games people play now
Every night and every day now
Never meaning what they say now
Never saying what they mean
Na na na na na na-nì
Na na na na na-nì
È una gara a chi arriva prima
E nessuno vince mai!
Oh the games people play now
Every night and every day now
Never meaning what they say now
Lyrics translation
And the game continues
Every day and every night, always
As before maybe more than before
And no one ever wins!
All registered to the race
It's a race for those who come first
In the end you won nothing
But no one knows ... ah ah!
Oh the games people play now
Every night and every day now
Never meaning what they say now
Never saying what they mean
Na na na na na-nì
Na na na na-nì
It's a race for those who come first
And no one ever wins!
Some people say it's useless
That yes always runs unnecessarily
That goes on only those who have luck
Or who is Daddy's son
There is one who runs and has no breath
But those who help him are disqualified
And then he's one less competitor
And maybe it's better So... ah ah!
Oh the games people play now
Every night and every day now
Never meaning what they say now
Never saying what they mean
Na na na na na-nì
Na na na na-nì
It's a race for those who come first
And no one ever wins!
And you little girl with the sweet look
That you keep dreaming
How I wish I didn't disappoint you
How would I want you to fly
But yesterday those of the opinion office
They asked me urgently for a new record
I wanted to take you to the sea this summer
And I have to play the game!
Oh the games people play now
Every night and every day now
Never meaning what they say now
Never saying what they mean
Na na na na na-nì
Na na na na-nì
It's a race for those who come first
And no one ever wins!
Na na na na na-nì
Na na na na-nì
It's a race for those who come first
And no one ever wins!
Oh the games people play now
Every night and every day now
Never meaning what they say now
Never saying what they mean
Na na na na na-nì
Na na na na-nì
It's a race for those who come first
And no one ever wins!
Oh the games people play now
Every night and every day now
Never meaning what they say now
Never saying what they mean
Na na na na na-nì
Na na na na-nì
It's a race for those who come first
E nessuno vince mai!
Oh the games people play now
Every night and every day now
Never meaning what they say now
Never saying what they mean
Na na na na na na-nì
Na na na na na-nì
È una gara a chi arriva prima
E nessuno vince mai!
Oh the games people play now
Every night and every day now
Never meaning what they say now
