Destinazione Paradiso Lyrics in English by Gianluca Grignani
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Destinazione Paradiso by Gianluca Grignani from Italian to English.
Un viaggio ha senso solo
A journey makes sense only
Senza ritorno se non in volo
With no way back unless by flight
Senza fermate né confini
No stops or borders
Solo orizzonti neanche troppo lontani
Just horizons not even that far
In questo girotondo d'anime
In this merry-go-round of souls
Chi si volta è perso e resta qua
Whoever turns back gets lost and stays here
Lo so per certo amico
I know it for sure, buddy
Mi son voltato anch'io
I turned back too
E per raggiungerti ho dovuto correre
And to reach you I had to run
Ma più mi guardo in giro e vedo che
But the more I look around I see that
C'è un mondo che va avanti anche se
There's a world that keeps going even if
Se tu non ci sei più
You're not here anymore
Se tu non ci sei più
You're not here anymore
E dimmi perché
And tell me why
In questo girotondo d'anime non c'è
In this merry-go-round of souls there's not
Un posto per scrollarsi via di dosso
A place to shake off
Quello che c'è stato detto e
What we've been told and
Quello che oramai si sa
What by now everyone knows
E allora sai che c'è
So you know what
C'è, che c'è
There's, that's it
C'è che prendo un treno che va
I'm catching a train that goes
A paradiso città
To Paradise City
E vi saluto a tutti e salto su
I wave goodbye to you all and hop on
Prendo il treno e non ci penso più
I take the train and don't think anymore
Un viaggio ha senso solo
A journey makes sense only
Senza ritorno se non in volo
With no way back unless by flight
Senza fermate né confini
No stops or borders
Solo orizzonti neanche troppo lontani
Just horizons not even that far
Io mi prenderò il mio posto
I'll grab my seat
E tu seduta lì al mio fianco
And you sitting there by my side
Mi dirai destinazione paradiso
Will tell me "destination paradise"
Un viaggio ha senso solo
A journey makes sense only
Senza ritorno se non in volo
With no way back unless by flight
Senza fermate né confini
No stops or borders
Solo orizzonti neanche troppo lontani
Just horizons not even that far
Io mi prenderò il mio posto
I'll grab my seat
E tu seduta lì al mio fianco
And you sitting there by my side
Mi dirai destinazione paradiso
Will tell me "destination paradise"
C'è, che c'è
There's, that's it
C'è che prendo un treno che va
I'm catching a train that goes
A paradiso città
To Paradise City
Io mi prenderò il mio posto
I'll grab my seat
E tu seduta lì al mio fianco
And you sitting there by my side
Mi dirai destinazione paradiso
Will tell me "destination paradise"
Paradiso città
Paradise City

Did you like this lyrics translation?
Destinazione Paradiso is a vibrant anthem of escape, renewal and hope. Gianluca Grignani imagines life as a never-ending carousel of souls: if you turn back, you get stuck. So he decides to keep moving, chasing horizons “without stops or borders” on a one-way journey that only returns by flight. The world rolls on even when loved ones disappear, and the only way not to be left behind is to leap forward.
Tired of old labels and expectations, the singer dreams up a train to Paradiso città—not some distant afterlife, but a fresh start where pain and judgment stay off the tracks. He grabs a seat, invites a companion to sit beside him and together they race toward a brighter tomorrow. The song urges us to drop our baggage, trust our own momentum and believe that paradise can be the very next station we choose.
