Io Canto
Laura Pausini Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Le pietre di un sentiero di collina
Il falco che s'innalzerà
Il primo raggio che verra
La neve che si scioglierà
Correndo al mare
L'impronta di una testa sul cuscino
Lo sguardo di serenità
La mano che si tenderà
La gioia di chi aspetterà
Per questo e quello che verrà
Io canto
Le mani in tasca e canto
La voce in festa e canto
La banda in testa e canto
Corro nel vento e canto
La vita intera e canto
La primavera e canto
La mia preghiera e canto
Per chi mi ascolterà
Voglio cantare
Sempre cantare
L'odore del caffè nella cucina
La casa tutta piena di mattina
E l'ascensore che non va
L'amore per la mia città
La gente che sorriderà
Lungo la strada
I rami che s'intrecciano nel cielo
Un vecchio che cammina tutto solo
L'estate che poi passerà
Il grano che maturerà
La mano che lo coglierà
Per questo e quello che verrà
Io canto
Le mani in tasca e canto
La voce in festa e canto
La banda in testa e canto
Io corro nel vento e canto
La vita intera e canto
La primavera e canto
L'ultima sera e canto io
Per chi mi ascolterà
Voglio cantare
Sempre cantare
Cantare
(Canto, canto)
Le mani in tasca (canto, canto)

(Canto) Per chi mi ascolterà (canto, canto)
