Un'estate italiana [English translation]

Perhaps it won't be a song

that will alter the rules of the game

but I want to live it like this, this adventure,

without borders and with my heart in my throat.

And the world in a carousel of colours.

And the wind caresses the flags.

A thrill arrives and it carries you away

and it resolves the madness into an embrace.

Magic nights

chasing a "goal"1

under the sky

of an Italian summer.

And, in your eyes,

the desire to win;

a summer,

one more adventure.

That dream that starts since childhood

and that always takes you further away

is not a fairy tale

and, from the locker rooms,

the boys come out and they are us.

Magic nights

chasing a "goal"

under the sky

of an Italian summer.

And, in your eyes,

the desire to win;

a summer,

one more adventure.

Magic nights

And, in your eyes,

Adventure.

One more adventure.

Adventure.

Goal!
