How much time we've lost
We're dust in the universe
I knew it and I had told you
I've always been a bit different
I would've done something big
I felt it growing inside and now
Look, I've got a new tattoo
Women and flowers on my arms
In spite of everything I still stay in the square
At two we still play soccer
It doesn't matter if I've made it
I care more about where I'm from
My home's where the wind blows
My life's on that concrete
How much we've been through on those streets
The habits I had, you know they haven't changed
Those lines on me like they were tattooed
They still hurt even if now they're farther away
It's true, I've made some money even if I don't talk about it
I prefer other things even if sometimes I hide and cry
And not 'cause I feel tired, but 'cause I fight
I repeat to myself: "Never change, Guido, don't do it!"
No, no, no, no, I don't wanna abandon these streets
I travel the world, but then I'll come back
We'll be back in the square, you don't know how good a friend is
Who gives you his shoulder just to cry
But look at me, they wanted to change me, but
It's not possible, you know well it doesn't work
We'll cross the limit sitting on a cloud
And I keep my promises
It's gotten late, I'm in the parking lot, the lights go out
I'm not ready yet
I wanna scream till I lose my voice, they don't hear me
I climb on the roof to watch the sunset so they won't catch me
You don't know how much I need it
I'm sorry for what I did to you, I still don't forgive myself
A butterfly lives little but dies flying
I think about how important it can be to live by dreaming
Everybody talks, but few do
Everybody talks and only a few find the courage and gamble
I stay watching from afar
In one hand the world and in the backpack a pencil
I haven't changed my track
I never liked the world I was born in and I drew it again
I chose how to live and don't blame myself
Even if I don't care, you know me, I'll never change
For when we don't agree
For when I thought, "It's too much"
You can't scratch the thread, it's made of granite
What a son wants to hear is only, "I'll love you"
Regardless of what you'll do
Your family's the most precious and unique treasure
But if you live it badly it's surely your worst enemy
No, no, no, no, I don't wanna abandon these streets
I travel the world, but then I'll come back
We'll be back in the square, you don't know how good a friend is
Who gives you his shoulder just to cry
But look at me, they wanted to change me, but
It's not possible, you know well it doesn't work
We'll cross the limit sitting on a cloud
