Le Farfalle - Domenico Modugno

Mia piccola farfalla

Che non ti chiedi

Perche’sei cosi’bella

Lo sai e' triste

Un volo e poi piu’niente

Mi chiedo a cosa serve

Amare un giorno solo

Ti prego non andare

Portami con te

Non voglio piu’pensare

Saro’come te

E io sento gia’spuntare

Le mie ali sulle spalle

Le mie ali sulle spalle

Farfalle, e vite che si schiudono, che nascono e gia’muoino e siamo noi

Farfalle e voli che si incrociano ma non c’e’tempo e tu lo sai

E non c’e’tempo per odiare

E per i tuoi perche'

E a che serve mai sparare poi

Io sono come te

Siamo nati per amare, per soffrire per capire, e dopo un attimo morire

Farfalle che nascono e gia’muoino che volano senza un perche’e siamo noi

Farfalle e vite che si sfiorano ma non c’e’tempo e tu lo sai, sai… sai

Farfalle, Farfalle, Farfalle, Farfalle

My little butterfly

You don't ask yourself

Why are you so beautiful

You know it's sad

A flight and then more nothing

I wonder what it is for

To love just one day

Please don't go

bring me with you

I don't want to think anymore

I'll be like you

And I already feel it ticking

My wings on my shoulders

My wings on my shoulders

Butterflies, and lives that open, that are born and die and it is us

Butterflies and flights that cross but there is no time and you know it

And there is no time to hate

And for your reasons

And what's the use of shooting then

I'm like you

We were born to love, to suffer to understand, and after a moment to die

Butterflies that are born and already die that fly without a reason and it is us

Butterflies and lives that touch each other but there is no time and you know it, you know ... you know

Butterflies, Butterflies, Butterflies, Butterflies
