Sotto una palma al centro di Alexander Platz
Under a palm tree in the center of Alexander Platz
Ci siamo presi il nostro tempo per decidere
We took our time to decide
Con la filosofia del grande Snaporaz
With the philosophy of the great Snaporaz
Abbiamo scelto che non volevamo scendere
We chose that we didn't want to get off
Da questa giostra che ci fa girar la testa
From this merry-go-round that makes our heads spin
E che ci tiene in orbita
And keeps us in orbit
Ci tiene in orbita, ci tiene in orbita
Keeps us in orbit, keeps us in orbit
Ci tiene in orbita, ci tiene in orbita
Keeps us in orbit, keeps us in orbit
Ci tiene in orbita, ci tiene in orbita
Keeps us in orbit, keeps us in orbit
Ci tiene in orbita
Keeps us in orbit
In una giungla sotto a un tetto di Parigi
In a jungle under a roof of Paris
Mentre ammiravo le tue ali di farfalla
While I admired your butterfly wings
Abbiamo immaginato di essere felici
We imagined ourselves to be happy
Come due bimbi proprietari di una stella
Like two children owning a star
In una febbre tropicale al Polo Sud
In a tropical fever at the South Pole
Sognai i miei vecchi sorridenti in riva al mare
I dreamed of my smiling elders by the sea
Mentre guardavano la mia barca andare via
While they watched my boat sail away
Benedicendo la mia rotta dentro al cuore
Blessing my course deep in my heart
Perché ogni tempo porta dentro un dispiacere
Because every time carries a bit of sorrow
Perché ogni giorno porta dentro un po' d'amore
Because every day holds a bit of love
Che ci tiene in orbita
That keeps us in orbit
Ci tiene in orbita, ci tiene in orbita
Keeps us in orbit, keeps us in orbit
Ci tiene in orbita, ci tiene in orbita
Keeps us in orbit, keeps us in orbit
Ci tiene in orbita, ci tiene in orbita, ci tiene in orbita
Keeps us in orbit, keeps us in orbit, keeps us in orbit
(Eh! Uh! Rimbombo!)
(Eh! Uh! Echo!)
Dentro un locale messicano di Shanghai
Inside a Mexican place in Shanghai
Ho immaginato meno spreco di dolore
I imagined less waste of pain
Ho visto appesa al muro l'onda di Hokusai
I saw Hokusai's wave hanging on the wall
M'ha ricordato che ogni cosa può cambiare
It reminded me that everything can change
Su questa giostra che ci fa girar la testa
On this carousel that spins our heads
E che ci tiene in orbita
And it keeps us in orbit
Ci tiene in orbita, ci tiene in orbita
It keeps us in orbit, it keeps us in orbit
Ci tiene in orbita, ci tiene in orbita
It keeps us in orbit, it keeps us in orbit
Ci tiene in orbita, ci tiene in orbita, ci tiene in orbita
It keeps us in orbit, it keeps us in orbit, it keeps us in orbit
Ci tiene in orbita, ci tiene in orbita
It keeps us in orbit, it keeps us in orbit
Ci tiene in orbita, ci tiene in orbita
It keeps us in orbit, it keeps us in orbit
Ci tiene in orbita, ci tiene in orbita
It keeps us in orbit, it keeps us in orbit
Ci tiene in orbita, ci tiene in orbita
It keeps us in orbit, it keeps us in orbit
