Diverso Da Me
Persiana Jones Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ancora una volta diverso da qua'
C'e' gia' una grande novita'
Tutti a seguirla vi divertira'
Lo so' non sara' cosi', se tu non capirai
Se cerchi l'estremo poi tutto ti piacera'
C'e' chi si lancia e poi a tornare indietro
Non ce la fara'
Il meglio che c'e'
Ma un rimedio c'e' diverso fra me e te
Non riesco a capire mai da quale parte stai
Se provi tutto quello che non hai visto
Se accendi tutto quello che ormai e' spento
Se sei diverso da me, diverso da chi
Non ha capito mai
Se c'e' una novita', un cambio improvviso
Della mia realta'
Non ho piu' dubbi perche' capisco da solo
Chi e' diverso da me
Vorrei, ma non si puo' parlarti se non sai
Capire che tu sei diverso solo da me
