Nella Fantasia
Gardar Thor Cortes Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Nella fantasia io vedo un mondo giusto,
Lì tutti vivono in pace e onestà.
Io sogno d'anime che sono sempre libere,
Come le nuvole che volano,
Pien d'umanità in fondo all'anima.

Nella fantasia io vedo un mondo chiaro,
Lì anche la notte è meno oscura.

Io sogno d'anime che sono sempre libere,
Come le nuvole che volano

Nella fantasia esiste un vento caldo,
Che soffia sulle città, come amico.
Io sogno d'anime che sono sempre libere,

Come le nuvole che volano,
Pien d'umanità in fondo all'anima
