Era casa mia - Al Bano, Romina Power

Ragazzi che guardavano le nuvole

Distesi sul confine dell’Oceano

Sognavano di essere più liberi

Contando i giorni uguali che passavano

Ragazze con lo scialle ricamavano

Sedute sui gradini color ebano

Guardavano l’azzurro aperto e limpido

E all’ombra di un rimpianto continuavano

Era casa mia

Era un posto semplice

Qualcuno un giorno

Mi ha portato via

Era casa mia

Ero cosi giovane

E non ho fatto in tempo

Neanche a piangere

Persone che non sanno perché corrono

Sorridono anche se non si divertono

E son sinceri solo quando dormono

Guardavano l’azzurro aperto e limpido

E all’ombra di un rimpianto continuavano

Diversi dagli amici che mi mancano

Era casa mia

Era un posto semplice

Qualcuno un giorno

Mi ha portato via

Era casa mia

Ero cosi giovane

E non ho fatto in tempo

Neanche a piangere

Guardavano l’azzurro aperto e limpido

E all’ombra di un rimpianto continuavano

E in certe sere quando il vento soffierà

Riporterà il profumo dei vent’anni miei

Ed io che per la vita lo respirerei

Dovrò fermare il tempo per un attimo

Era casa mia

Boys watching the clouds

Lying on the edge of the ocean

They dreamed of being freer

Counting the same days that passed

Girls with shawls embroidered

Sitting on the ebony steps

They looked at the open and clear blue

And in the shadow of regret they continued

It was my home

It was a simple place

Someone one day

She took me away

It was my home

I was so young

And I didn't make it in time

Not even to cry

People who don't know why they run

They smile even if they are not having fun

And they are only sincere when they sleep

They looked at the open and clear blue

And in the shadow of regret they continued

Different from the friends I miss

It was my home

It was a simple place

Someone one day

It took me away

It was my home

I was so young

And I didn't make it in time

Not even to cry

They looked at the open and clear blue

And in the shadow of regret they continued

And on certain evenings when the wind blows

It will bring back the scent of my twenties

And I who would breathe it for life

I'll have to stop time for a moment

It was my home
