Bei Tempi - Roberto Vecchioni

Era tanto tempo fa

Poi è già poi

Sul portone non c'è più lei

Forse ho sognato

Forse tutto si è già fermato

D’estate quando c’era il mare

E avevo voglia di guardare

Era tanto tempo fa

Poi c’ero io

Che pensavo vedrai domani

Io che leggevo

E facevo discorsi strani

A Laura quando le dicevo

Che il mondo è bello e ci credeva

Erano tempi erano bei tempi

Erano tempi di parole che correvo che rompevo e che scappavo

E coi tuoi occhi ci giocavo

Erano tempi erano bei tempi

Erano tempi di parole che correvano da sole

Ed era veramente amore

Era tanto tempo fa

Io con la radio

E mio padre con il giornale

Io con l’esame

E che parlo con il mio cane

Però d’estate c’era il sole e avevo voglia di scappare

Era tanto tanto tempo fa

Io con la radio

E mio padre con il giornale

Io con l’esame

E che parlo con il mio cane

Però d’estate c’era il sole

E avevo voglia di scappare

Era tanto tanto tempo fa

Io, io con voi

Quando non dormivamo mai

E quante sere

A parlarci del primo amore

E Laura che mi sorrideva

E Laura che non ritornava

Erano tempi erano bei tempi

Erano tempi di parole che correvo che rompevo e che scappavo

E coi tuoi occhi ci giocavo

Erano tempi erano bei tempi

Erano tempi di parole che correvano da sole

Ed era veramente amore

It was a long time ago

Then it is already then

She is no longer on the door

Maybe I dreamed

Perhaps everything has already stopped

In the summer when there was the sea

And I wanted to watch

It was a long time ago

Then there was me

Which I thought you'll see tomorrow

I was reading

And I was making strange speeches

To Laura when I told her

That the world is beautiful and she believed it

Those were times, they were good times

They were times of words that I ran that I broke and that I ran away

And with your eyes I used to play with it

Those were times, they were good times

These were times of words that ran alone

And it was truly love

It was a long time ago

Me with the radio

And my father with the newspaper

Me with the exam

And that I talk to my dog

But in the summer it was sunny and I wanted to escape

It was a long, long time ago

Me with the radio

And my father with the newspaper

Me with the exam

And that I talk to my dog

But in the summer there was the sun

And I wanted to escape

It was a long, long time ago

Me, me with you

When we never slept

And how many evenings

To tell us about the first love

And Laura smiling at me

And Laura who wasn't coming back

Those were times, they were good times

They were times of words that I ran that I broke and that I ran away

And with your eyes I used to play with it

Those were times, they were good times

These were times of words that ran alone

And it was truly love
