Wondeful World
Zucchero feat. Eric Clapton Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I tell ya brother, man shit happens
By the way, howzit with you?
Check out the kid, finger on the button
Oh yeah it's a wonderful world, huh

Got no desire, huh, to desire
Hey jack, ain't that a trip?
And you madam, standing there for hire
Oh yeah, where's your wonderful world?

I'll be leaving in the morning
Far away from you
Yes I'm taking that step
I'm gonna jump in the blue

Falling, ending my depression
It's calling, oh my obsession

There might be days, when I think it's better
Hey babe, like you want me to be
Pull the chain, down goes the water
Oh yeah, it's a wonderful world

I'll be leaving in the morning
Nothing left to do
Yes I'm taking that step
I'm gonna jump in the blue

Falling, ending my depression
It's calling, oh my obsession

I'll be gone with the morning sun
Far away from you
Yes I'm taking that step
I'm gonna jump in the blue
A giant step in the blue

Oh I'm leaving in the morning
Nothing left to do
Yes I'm taking that step
I'm gonna jump in the blue

Falling, ending my depression
It's coming, I can feel the vibration
Falling, ending my depression
It's calling, give me wings
Give me my liberation

I been lonely lord
A final jump in the blue
I been lonely lord
[Incomprehensible]
I can't take it no more




I been lonely, lonely
A final jump in the blue

La chitarra di Clapton con una melodia perfetta rende la canzone bellissima. Decisamente la più bella versione di questa canzone mai sentita.

@giovanni4503

Si assolutamente, la chitarra suona e un Capolavoro

@VLif3

Avrà anche fatto qualche ca**ta, come tutti del resto, ma Zucchero per me rimane uno dei pochi artisti italiani che possono presentarsi sulla scena internazionale senza fare la figura del cantante di provincia.
Ascolto prevalentemente artisti inglesi o USA, di tantissimi generi diversi, ma quando sento Zucchero con un pezzo come questo, sono ben felice di ascoltare un po' di Italia. Se poi si aggiunge la chitarra di Clapton, le mie orecchie vanno in estasi.

@MrFarraio

Parole sante. Qualche ca**ata l'ha fatta, ma in fin dei conti Zucchero è credibile sulla scena internazionale. Questo è il punto.

@moraineasdai8623

Caro Fabrizio si possiamo dire che attualmente è uno dei pochi italiani che possono definirsi musicisti

@bounty1402

Anch'io ascolto musica internazionale, dai Rolling Stones ai Dream Theater, passando per Led Zeppelin, BB King, Pink Floyd, ecc. e Zucchero è l'unico italiano a non sfigurare di fronte a nessuno.
Poi vabe' apprezzo anche De André e Lucio Battisti, ma sono meno internazionali.

@ericbarra4061

Concordo in pieno il pensiero👍

@anelladambrosio2513

@@moraineasdai8623 si... Zucchero e il nostro orgoglio! 😊😍😘💘❤️

Uno dei migliori capolavori di Adelmo. Ascoltarla in macchina di notte in autostrada era uno sballo
