Che mi fa soffrire per amore
Ogni volta che io mi allontano so
Che noi ci apparteniamo ancora un po' di più
La strada dove io
Bambino resterò
Dentro a questi sogni di musica
La mia musica è per te immenso amore mio
Questa melodia nasce dentro me sempre più
La nostalgia che ho di te amare e dolce terra mia
