Africa Unite Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Mentre stai chiudendo gli occhi
Mentre scavi dentro te
E il rumore si dissolve
Senza farsi attendere
Senza farsi vincere
Ti sfioro con le dita e voglio che sia tu
Ad addormentarti
Lasciando che al sonno ti liberi

Tu soltanto tu
Chiudi i tuoi occhi con i miei
Tu soltanto tu
Senza paure
Tu soltanto tu
Rallenti il tuo battito con me
Tu soltanto tu
Dormi e poi sognami

Mi sveglio con te
Vivendo e volendo ogni giorno di più
Senza più limiti
Non fermarmi
Non bruciarmi
Non c'è motivo sai
Per mettere in dubbio c'è che hai
È meglio lasciarsi avvolgere oh no no

Tu soltanto tu
Chiudi i tuoi occhi con i miei
Tu soltanto tu
Senza paure
Tu soltanto tu
Rallenti il tuo battito con me
Tu soltanto tu
Dormi e poi sognami

Mentre stai chiudendo gli occhi
Mentre scavi dentro te
E il rumore si dissolve
Senza farsi attendere
Senza farsi vincere
Ti sfioro con le dita

È meglio lasciarsi avvolgere oh no no

Tu soltanto tu
Chiudi i tuoi occhi con i miei
Tu soltanto tu
Senza paure
Tu soltanto tu
Rallenti il tuo battito con me
Tu soltanto tu

Dormi e poi sognami
Tu soltanto tu
Chiudi i tuoi occhi con i miei
Tu soltanto tu
Senza paure
Tu soltanto tu
Rallenti il tuo battito con me
Tu soltanto tu
Dormi e poi sognami

Tu soltanto tu
Tu soltanto tu
Tu soltanto tu
Tu soltanto tu dormi e poi sognami
Tu soltanto tu
Tu soltanto tu

Tu soltanto tu
Tu soltanto tu
