Wings
Flavio Rizzello Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Mama told me not to waste my life
She said, "Spread your wings, my little butterfly"

Don't let what they say keep you up at night
And if they give you, "shh"
Then they can walk on by

My feet, feet can't touch the ground
And I can't hear a sound
But you just keep on running up your mouth, yeah

Walk, walk on over there
‘Cause I'm too fly to care, oh yeah

Your words don't mean a thing
I'm not listening
Keep talking, all I know is

Mama told me not to waste my life,
She said spread your wings my little butterfly
Don't let what they say keep you up at night
And they can't detain you
‘Cause wings are made to fly
And we don't let nobody bring us down
No matter what you say – it won't hurt me
Don't matter if I fall from the sky
These wings are made to fly

(Hey, hey, woo!)

I'm firing up on that runway
I know we're gonna get there someday
But we don't need no "Ready. Steady. Go!", no

Talk, talk turns into air
And I don't even care, oh yeah

Your words don't mean a thing
I'm not listening
Keep talking, all I know is

Mama told me not to waste my life,
She said spread your wings my little butterfly
Don't let what they say keep you up at night
And they can't detain you
‘Cause wings are made to fly
And we don't let nobody bring us down
No matter what you say, it won't hurt me
Don't matter if I fall from the sky
These wings are made to fly

I don't need no one saying hey, hey, hey, hey
I don't hear no one saying hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
You better keep on walking
I don't wanna hear your talking, boy'd
You better keep on walking
I don't wanna hear your talking, boy'd

Your words don't mean a thing
I'm not listening
They're just like water off my wings

Mama told me not to waste my life,
She said, "Spread your wings, my little butterfly"
Don't let what they say keep you up at night
And they can't detain you
‘Cause wings are made to fly
And we don't let nobody bring us down
No matter what you say, it won't hurt me
Don't matter if I fall from the sky
These wings are made to fly

And we don't let nobody bring us down
No matter what you say, it won't hurt me
Don't matter if I fall from the sky
These wings are made to fly

Mamãe me disse para não desperdiçar minha vida
Ela disse, "Abra suas asas, minha pequena borboleta"

Não deixe o que eles dizem a mantenha acordada à noite
E se eles te dizem "shh"
Depois eles podem continuar andando

Meus pés, meus pés não podem tocar o chão
E eu não consigo ouvir o som
Mas você ainda continua falando bobagens, sim

Vá, vá pra lá
Porque eu sou muito superior para dar importância, oh yeah

Suas palavras não significam nada
Eu não estou ouvindo
Continue falando, tudo que eu sei é

Mamãe me disse para não desperdiçar minha vida
Ela disse: Abra suas asas minha pequena borboleta
Não deixe eles dizem a mantenha acordada à noite
E eles não podem te deter
Porque asas são feitas para voar
E nós não deixamos ninguém nos derrubar
Não importa o que você diga isso não vai me machucar
Não importa se eu cair do céu
Estas asas são feitas para voar

(Hey, hey, woo!)

Eu estou disparando naquela pista
Eu sei que nós vamos chegar lá algum dia
Mas nós não precisamos de "Preparar. Apontar. Já", não

Fale, fale com o vento
E eu nem me importo, oh yeah

Suas palavras não significam nada
Eu não estou ouvindo
Continue falando, tudo que eu sei é

Mamãe me disse para não desperdiçar minha vida
Ela disse: Abra suas asas minha pequena borboleta
Não deixe eles dizem a mantenha acordada à noite
E eles não podem te deter
Porque asas são feitas para voar
E nós não deixamos ninguém nos derrubar
Não importa o que você diga, isso não vai me machucar
Não importa se eu cair do céu
Estas asas são feitas para voar

Não preciso de ninguém dizendo ei, ei, ei, ei
Não escuto ninguém dizendo ei, ei, ei, ei, ei, ei, ei
É melhor você continuar andando
Não quero escutar você falando, garoto
É melhor você continuar andando
Não quero escutar você falando, garoto

Suas palavras não significam nada
Eu não estou ouvindo
Continue falando, tudo que eu sei é

Mamãe me disse para não desperdiçar minha vida
Ela disse, "Abra suas asas, minha pequena borboleta"
Não deixe eles dizem a mantenha acordada à noite
E eles não podem te deter
Porque asas são feitas para voar
E nós não deixamos ninguém nos derrubar
Não importa o que você diga, isso não vai me machucar
Não importa se eu cair do céu
Estas asas são feitas para voar

E nós não deixamos ninguém nos derrubar
Não importa o que você diga isso não vai me machucar




Não importa se eu cair do céu
Estas asas são feitas para voar
