La solita strada bianca come il sale
The usual road, white as salt
Il grano da crescere, i campi da arare
The grain to grow, the fields to plow
Guardare ogni giorno
To look every day
Se piove o c'è il sole
Whether it rains or there's sunshine
Per saper se domani
To know if tomorrow
Si vive o si muore
We live or we die
E un bel giorno dire basta e andare via
And one fine day say enough and leave
Ciao amore
Hello love
Ciao amore, ciao amore, ciao
Hello love, hello love, hello
Ciao amore
Hello love
Ciao amore, ciao amore, ciao
Hello love, hello love, hello
Andare via lontano
Going far away
Cercare un altro mondo
Searching for another world
Dire addio al cortile
Saying goodbye to the courtyard
Andarsene sognando
Leaving while dreaming
E poi mille strade grigie come il fumo
And then a thousand gray roads like smoke
In un mondo di luci sentirsi nessuno
In a world of lights, feeling like nobody
Saltare cent'anni in un giorno solo
Jumping a hundred years in just one day
Dai carri dei campi
From the carts of the fields
Agli aerei nel cielo
To the planes in the sky
E non capirci niente e aver voglia di tornare da te
And not understanding anything, wanting to return to you
Ciao amore
Hello love
Ciao amore, ciao amore, ciao
Hello love, hello love, hello
Ciao amore
Hello love
Ciao amore, ciao amore, ciao
Hello love, hello love, hello
Non saper fare niente in un mondo che sa tutto
Not knowing how to do anything in a world that knows everything
E non avere un soldo nemmeno per tornare
And not having a dime even to get back
Ciao amore
Hello love
Ciao amore, ciao amore, ciao
Hello love, hello love, hello
Ciao amore
Hello love
Ciao amore, ciao amore, ciao
Hello love, hello love, hello
Ciao amore
Hello love
Ciao amore, ciao amore, ciao
Hello love, hello love, hello
Ciao amore
Hello love
Ciao amore
Hello love
