Avere nelle scarpe
To have in your shoes
La voglia di andare
The desire to go
Avere negli occhi la voglia
To have in your eyes the urge
Di guardare
To look
E invece restare
And yet stay
Prigionieri di un mondo
Prisoners of a world
Che ci lascia soltanto sognare
That only lets us dream
Solo sognare
Just dream
No! Se non ci fossi tu io me ne andrei
No! If you weren't there, I would leave
Ehi ehi ehi e no
Hey hey hey and no
Se non ci fossi tu io non sarei
If you weren't here, I wouldn't be
Prigioniero del mondo
A prisoner of the world
Avere nel cuore
To have in my heart
Una voglia d'amare
A longing to love
Avere nella gola una voglia
To have in my throat a desire
Di gridare
To scream
E chiudersi dentro
And lock ourselves inside
Prigionieri di un mondo
Prisoners of a world
Che ci lascia soltanto sognare
That leaves us only to dream
Solo sognare
Only to dream
Oh no! Se non ci fossi tu io me ne andrei
Oh no! If you weren't here, I'd be leaving
Ehi ehi ehi e no
Hey hey hey, no
Se non ci fossi tu io partirei
If you weren't here, I would depart
Non sarei prigioniero
I wouldn't be a prisoner
Di nessuno e di niente
Of no one and of nothing
Io sarei fra la gente un uomo che fa
I would be among the crowd a man who does
Quel che sente
What he feels
Oh, no! Se non ci fossi tu io me ne andrei
Oh, no! If you weren't here, I'd be leaving
Ehi ehi ehi e no
Hey hey hey, no
Se non ci fossi tu io non sarei
If you weren't here, I wouldn't be
Prigioniero del mondo
Prisoner of the world
