Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Prigioniero del mondo by Lucio Battisti from Italian to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Avere nelle scarpe
Have in your shoes
La voglia di andare
The desire to go
Avere negli occhi la voglia
Having in your eyes the desire
E invece restare
And instead stay
Prigionieri di un mondo
Prisoners of a World
Che ci lascia soltanto sognare
That just lets us dream
Solo sognare
Just dreaming
Se non ci fossi tu io me ne andrei
If you weren't there, I'd leave
Se non ci fossi tu io non sarei
If you weren't there I wouldn't be
Prigioniero del mondo
Prisoner of the World
Avere nel cuore
Having in your heart
Una voglia d'amare
A desire to love
Aver nella gola una voglia
Having a craving in your throat
E chiudersi dentro
And lock yourself in
Prigionieri di un mondo
Prisoners of a World
Che ci lascia soltanto sognare
That just lets us dream
Solo sognare
Just dreaming
Se non ci fossi tu io me ne andrei
If you weren't there, I'd leave
Se non ci fossi tu io partirei
If you weren't there I'd leave
Non sarei prigioniero
I wouldn't be a prisoner
Di nessuno e di niente
None and nothing
Io sarei fra la gente un uomo che fa
I'd be among the people a man who does
Quel che sente
What he hears
Se non ci fossi tu io me ne andrei
If you weren't there, I'd leave
Se non ci fossi tu io non sarei
If you weren't there I wouldn't be
Prigioniero del mondo
Prisoner of the World
