Lyrics

Era l’ultimo della classe
Ma nessuno gliene voleva
Ogni giorno una cosa nuova
E di tutti se la rideva
Poi la vita se lo rubò
Senza dargli mai più di un po'
Lui di questo si contentò
Fino a quando non lo scocciò…
Voleva cogliere margherite
Ma i campi in fiore già non c’erano più
C’era una corsa di tante vite
Che in campi brulli cadevano giù
Lui non pensava, lui ne rideva
Andare avanti era un piacere
Andava in cerca di un qualche cosa
Che non sapeva ma che sentiva…
Andava in cerca di un qualche cosa
Che aveva dentro, chiamato amore
Una bocca e due occhi neri
Non bastarono alla sua sete
Per la luce che lui voleva
Non lo chiusero nella rete
Una musica lo portò
Dove niente lo disturbò
Con il rullo che lo esaltò
Fino a quando non lo fermò…
Lo colse in fronte una margherita
E un fiore rosso per lui sbocciò
Fu questo il premio per una vita
Che guadagnava la libertà…
È nato un campo di margherite
E insieme ad altri lui resterà
Non avrà un nome fra tante vite
Non sarà l’ultimo, ma un uomo in più…

Lyrics translation

He was the last of the class
But no one wanted him.
Every day a new thing
And he laughed at everyone.
Then life stole it
Without ever giving him more than a little
He was content with this
Until it bothered him…
He wanted to seize daisies
But the fields in Bloom were already gone
There was a rush of so many lives
That fell down in burnt fields
He didn't think, he laughed.
Moving forward was a pleasure
He was looking for something.
Who didn't know but felt…
He was looking for something.
That he had inside, called Love
One mouth and two black eyes
They were not enough for his thirst
For the light he wanted
They didn't close it in the net.
A music brought him
Where nothing bothered him
With the roller that exalted him
Until he stopped it…
A daisy caught him in the forehead
And a red flower for him blossomed
This was the prize for a lifetime
Who gained freedom…
A field of daisies was born
And together with others he will remain
He won't have a name among so many lives
He will not be the last, but an extra man…
