Ali
Marina Barone Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Io per te ho cambiato la mia vita,
Ho scandito i tempi della mia poesia,
Ho lottato nei percorsi più impossibili,
Quante volte ho pianto per avere te.

Rinunciare ai sogni da bambina
Per capire il volto della realtà;
Aspettarti al buio non è stato facile

Ma lo rifarei…

Ali
Tu sei le mie ali per volare via,
Ali
Dentro agli abbracci che mi fanno tua,
Ali
Dentro i tuoi occhi pieni di fantasia,
Ali
Per farmi volare da te anima mia.

Ho dipinto il cielo alle prigioni,
Mi son messa contro tutti e contro me;
Ho venduto i miei ideali per capire i tuoi
Ma lo rifarei…

Ali
Tu sei le mie ali per volare via,
Ali
Dentro agli abbracci che mi fanno tua,
Ali
Dentro i tuoi occhi pieni di fantasia,
Ali
Per farmi volare da te anima mia.

E se ci sarà un domani

Io sarò quella di ieri,
Prenderemo il volo io e te
