Lyrics

C’era una volta una strada,
Un buon vento mi porto laggiu.
E se la memoria non m’inganna
All’angolo ti presentasti tu.
Quelli eran giorni, si, erano giorni,
Al mondo non puoi chiedere di piu.
Noi ballavamo anche senza musica,
Nel nostro cuore c’era molto piu.
La ra la ra la la…
Vivevamo in una bolla d’aria
Che volava sopra la citta.
La gente ci segnava con il dito
Dicendo: «Guarda la felicita!»
Quelli erano giorni, si, erano giorni,
Mai niente ci poteva piu fermar.
Quando il semaforo segnava il rosso
Noi passavamo allegri ancor di piu.
La ra la ra la ra…
Poi, si sa, col tempo anche le rose
Un mattino non fioriscon piu.
E cosi andarono le cose,
Anche il buon vento non soffio mai piu.
Quelli eran giorni, oh si, erano giorni,
Al mondo non puoi chiedere di piu.
E ripensandoci mi viene un nodo qui,
E se io canto, questo non vuol dir.
La ra la ra la ra…
Oggi son tornata in quella strada,
Un buon ricordo mi ha portata la.
Stavi in mezzo a un gruppo di persone
E raccontavi: «Cari amici miei…»
Quelli eran giorni, si, erano giorni,
Al mondo non puoi chiedere di piu.
Noi ballavamo anche senza musica,
Nel nostro cuore c’era molto piu.
La ra la ra la ra…
Noi ballavamo anche senza musica,
Di la passava la nostra gioventu.
La ra la ra la ra…

Lyrics translation

Once Upon a time there was a road,
I'm getting a good wind down there.
And if memory does not deceive me
You showed up at the corner.
Those were days, yes, they were days,
You can't ask the world for more.
We danced even without music,
In our hearts there was much more.
La ra La ra la la…
We lived in an air bubble
Flying over the city.
People were pointing fingers at us.
Saying, " Look at happiness!»
Those were days, yes, they were days,
Nothing could stop us anymore.
When the traffic light marked red
We used to be happier.
Ra to ra to ra…
Then, you know, in time also roses
One morning I don't Bloom anymore.
And so things went,
Even the good wind never blows again.
Those were days, oh yes, they were days,
You can't ask the world for more.
And on second thought I get a knot here,
And if I sing, that doesn't mean it.
Ra to ra to ra…
I went back to that road today.,
A good memory brought me there.
You were in the middle of a group of people
And you said, " My dear friends…»
Those were days, yes, they were days,
You can't ask the world for more.
We danced even without music,
In our hearts there was much more.
Ra to ra to ra…
We danced even without music,
Our youth passed by.
Ra to ra to ra…
