Adriano Celentano Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ci vuole un sole caldo, caldo, caldo
Per un amore freddo freddo.
In gennaio avevi freddo
Ora invece non l'hai piu.
E' stato il sole caldo, caldo, caldo
Insieme ai baci che t'ho dato...
Il mio cuore e diventato
Tutto un fuoco fuoco d'amor.

Ma adesso che torna l'inverno
Ti giuro che non gelerai
Il sole che splende in eterno
Nei miei baci tu lo troverai.

Ci vuole un sole caldo, caldo, caldo
Per un amore freddo freddo...
E quel sole tu l'avrai
Perche io l'ho qui chiuso in me...
Questo sole caldo, caldo, caldo, caldo.
Per te!

Ma adesso che torna l'inverno
Ti giuro che non gelerai
Il sole che splende in eterno
Nei miei baci tu lo troverai.

Ci vuole un sole caldo, caldo, caldo
Per un amore freddo freddo...
E quel sole tu l'avrai
Perche io l'ho qui chiuso in me...
Questo sole caldo caldo, caldo, caldo.
Per te!

Ma adesso che torna l'inverno
Ti giuro che non gelerai
Il sole che splende in eterno
Nei miei baci tu lo troverai.

Ci vuole un sole caldo, caldo, caldo
Per un amore freddo freddo...
E quel sole tu l'avrai

Perche io l'ho qui chiuso in me...
Questo sole caldo caldo, caldo, caldo.
