Make your body rockin'
Move it, move it

Move it, move it...
Make your body rockin'
Move it, move it

Move it, move it...
Make your body rockin'
Move it, move it

Move it, move it...
Make your body rockin'
Move it, move it
Make your body rockin'
Quante domande mi affollano la testa
How many questions crowd my mind
In questi giorni di grande dolore
In these days of great sorrow
Oggi è il primo giorno del tempo che ci resta
Today is the first day of the time we have left
Un giorno buono per ricominciare
A good day to start anew
Quante persone ci son passate già
How many people have already passed through
Da questo incrocio pieno di domande
From this intersection full of questions
Milioni di milioni, da qui all'eternità
Millions upon millions, from here to eternity
Ma la risposta non è mai abbastanza grande
But the answer is never large enough
Per riempire il vuoto che ci manca
To fill the void that we lack
Per riempire il cuore dell'umanità
To fill the heart of humanity
I've got so many questions runnin' up inside my mind
I've got so many questions runnin' up inside my mind
Life is long but this is enough time
To answer all the questions runnin' up inside my mind
Io vorrei spingermi un poco più al di là
I would like to push myself a little further beyond
Dove la musica è un fuoco che ci unisce
Where the music is a fire that unites us
E fa brillare tutta la realtà
And makes all of reality shine
Dove la verità non appassisce
Where the truth never wilts
Sunshine is a friend of mine
Rainfall is a friend of mine
Earthquake is a friend of mine
Bodyshake is a friend of mine
Technology is a friend of mine
Electricity is a friend of mine
Bassline is a friend of mine
La conga is a friend of mine
Il ritmo is a friend of mine
The rhythm is a friend of mine
Il cielo is a friend of mine
The sky is a friend of mine
Underwater is a friend of mine
The Holy Spirit is a friend of mine
Silence is a friend of mine
Violence, not a friend of mine
My friend is a friend of mine
My enemy is a friend of mine

I've got so many questions runnin' up inside my mind
I've got so many questions runnin' up inside my mind
Life is long but this is enough time
To answer all the questions runnin' up inside my mind
Per rispondere a tutte le domande che frullano nella mia mente
Quante persone ci son passate già
How many people have already passed by
Da questo incrocio pieno di domande
From this crossroads full of questions
Milioni di milioni, da qui all'eternità (ah-ah)
Millions upon millions, from here to eternity (ah-ah)
Ma la risposta non è mai abbastanza grande (ah-ah)

Balla questo ritmo che ti fa buon sangue
Dance to this rhythm that makes your blood flow
Schiarisce le idee e poi ti scioglie le gambe
Clears your mind and then loosens your legs
Crea una connessione con le onde e le distanze
Creates a connection with the waves and the distances
Un solo ritmo, sei miliardi di altre danze
One single rhythm, six billion other dances
Balla questo ritmo che ogni cosa si trasforma
Dance to this rhythm where everything transforms
Quello che era strano poi diventerà la norma
What was strange will become the norm
Quello che non c'è ancora è già da qualche parte
What isn't here yet is already somewhere
Quello che è passato ha influenza sulla sorte
What has passed influences our fate
