Lyrics

Avere nelle scarpe
La voglia di andare
Avere negli occhi la voglia
Di guardare
E invece restare
Prigionieri di un mondo
Che ci lascia soltanto sognare
Solo sognare
No
Se non ci fossi tu io me ne andrei…
Ey ey ey e no
Se non ci fossi tu io non sarei
Prigioniero del mondo
Avere nel cuore
Una voglia d’amare
Aver nella gola una voglia
Di gridare
E chiudersi dentro
Prigionieri di un mondo
Che ci lascia soltanto sognare
Solo sognare
No
Se non ci fossi tu io me ne andrei…
Ey ey ey e no
Se non ci fossi tu io partirei
Non sarei prigioniero
Di nessuno e di niente
Io sarei fra la gente un uomo che fa
Quel che sente
Oh, no
Se non ci fossi tu io me ne andrei…
Ey ey ey e no
Se non ci fossi tu io non sarei
Prigioniero del mondo

Lyrics translation

Have in shoes
The urge to go
Have in your eyes the birthmark
Of watching
And instead stay
Prisoners of a world
That leaves us only to dream
Just dream
Nope
If I wasn't there, I'd leave.…
Ey ey ey e no
If I wasn't there, I wouldn't be there.
Prisoner of the world
Have in the heart
A desire to love
Having a birthmark in your throat
To shout
And lock yourself in
Prisoners of a world
That leaves us only to dream
Just dream
Nope
If I wasn't there, I'd leave.…
Ey ey ey e no
If I wasn't there, I'd leave.
I wouldn't be a prisoner.
Nobody and nothing
I would be among the people a man who does
What you feel
Oh, no.
If I wasn't there, I'd leave.…
Ey ey ey e no
If I wasn't there, I wouldn't be there.
Prisoner of the world
