Lyrics

Vecchia balera di periferia
Dove ho passato la mia gioventù
Là ho incontrato Maria
Il mio primo sogno d’amore
Prima illusione della vita mia
Tra le tue luci io mi sentivo un re
Là io stringevo Maria
E Maria non capiva perché
Là ho imparato che bere
Non basta per dimenticare
Cara vecchia balera
I miei vent’anni appartengono a te Vecchia balera di periferia
Dove ho passato la mia gioventù
Là ho perduto Maria
E mai ho capito perché

Lyrics translation

Old suburban balera
Where I spent my youth
There I met Maria
My first dream of love
First illusion of my life
Among your lights I felt like a king
There I held Mary
And Mary did not understand why
There I learned that drinking
It's not enough to forget
Dear old balera
My twenty years belong to you old suburban balera
Where I spent my youth
There I lost Maria
And I never understood why
