Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
E alla notte mi dice
Che per lui sono tutto sai perché
Io per lui, io per lui morirei
Per quegli occhi vivrei
Una vita di più
Io per lui, io per lui vincerei
Anche il sole perché
Lui mi dice: "Sei una donna che vale"
Non arrenderti mai, lotta sempre
Io gli credo, sai perché
Io per lui, io per lui morirei
Per quegli occhi vivrei
Una vita di più
Io per lui, io per lui vincerei
Anche il sole perché
Questa vita che ho è per lui
Lui mi dice: "Sei una donna che vale"
Non arrenderti mai, lotta sempre
Io gli credo, sai perché
Io per lui
Io per lui, io per lui vincerei
Anche il sole perché
Questa vita che ho è per lui
