A me mi è sempre piaciuto l'aereoplano
I have always liked the airplane
Da piccoli mio padre ci portava a Fiumicino
When we were little my father used to take us to Fiumicino
Dietro una rete guardavamo la pancia a quei prodigi
Behind a fence we watched the belly of those wonders
Che ci sfioravano i capelli a me e ai miei fratelli
That brushed our hair, mine and my brothers'
Che meraviglia, che brivido, che voglia di partire
What a marvel, what a thrill, what a desire to leave
Che meraviglia, che futuro tutto lì da costruire
What a marvel, what a future all there to build
Oh, l'aereoplano
Oh, the airplane
Vola, vola, vola
Fly, fly, fly
Mi sono sempre piaciuti gli aeroplani
I have always liked airplanes
Ancora oggi quando sono felice
Even today when I am happy
Come d'istinto imito il loro volo con le mani
Like instinctively I imitate their flight with my hands
E sto senza pensare con me davanti al mare
And I stay without thinking, with myself in front of the sea
E sto senza pensare, mi sento sollevare
And I stay without thinking, I feel lifted
Che meraviglia, che brivido, che voglia di partire
What a marvel, what a thrill, what a desire to leave
Che meraviglia, che futuro tutto lì da costruire
What a marvel, what a future all there to build
Oh, l'aereoplano
Oh, the airplane
Vola, vola, vola
Fly, fly, fly
Guardandoli passare vicino, che emozione era
Watching them pass by nearby, what an emotion it was
Provavo a indovinare anche un nome o i colori di una bandiera
I tried to guess even a name or the colors of a flag
Poi a casa con il mappamondo acceso fantasticavo fino a notte
Then at home with the globe lit up I fantasized until night
E con il dito superavo anche le Ande
And with my finger I even passed over the Andes
Che poi è successo con la musica da grande
Which then happened with music when I grew up
L'America del Sud, l'Oriente, come se fosse niente
South America, the Orient, as if it were nothing
La fantasia ha potere, ha potere veramente
Imagination has power, it really has power
Oh, l'aereoplano
Oh, the airplane
Vola, vola, vola
Fly, fly, fly
Che meraviglia, che brivido, che voglia di partire
What a marvel, what a thrill, what a desire to leave
Che meraviglia, che futuro tutto lì da costruire
What a marvel, what a future all there to build
Oh, l'aereoplano
Oh, the airplane
Vola, vola, vola
Fly, fly, fly
Vola l'aeroplano
The airplane flies
Vola, vola, vola
Fly, fly, fly
Vola, vola, vola
Fly, fly, fly
E adesso dopo tanti anni
And now after so many years
A quel simbolo di progresso
To that symbol of progress
È successo quello che alle cose del mondo, ahimè, capita spesso
Happened what happens to the things of the world, alas, often
Era splendido, pulito, avveneristico e promettente
It was splendid, clean, futuristic, and promising
E ora è ferro e gas di scarico, una minaccia per l'ambiente
And now it is iron and exhaust gas, a threat to the environment
E quel bambino che fantasticava l'osserva andare via
And that child who fantasized watches it go away
Con nuovi sogni, vecchi ricordi, emozioni e nostalgia
With new dreams, old memories, emotions, and nostalgia
Oh, l'aereoplano
Oh, the airplane
Vola, vola, vola
Fly, fly, fly
Vola l'aeroplano
The airplane flies
