A che serve volare [English translation]

Fast like the wind

I ran towards you.

The street still the same

you would disappear before my eyes.

But what use is it to fly,

always flying,

when love

no longer awaits you.

I saw you in the mirror,

you were beautiful as then.

You resembled a queen

of the night and of the dawn.

But what use is it to fly,

always flying,

when love

no longer awaits you.

But deep within every man

there's always the hope,

for this I ran

like the wind towards you.

I wanted to believe

in a miracle, who knows?

I wanted to believe

in a miracle, but.

But what use is it to fly,

always flying,

when love

no longer awaits you.

I would slowly return

after having seen you.

The street upon returning

was as long as ever.

But what use is it to fly,

always flying,

so much my love

no longer wants me.

If fast like the wind

I ran towards you.

Crying like a child

I was returning back home.

But what use is it to fly,

Always flying,

When love

No longer awaits me.

What use is it to fly!

What use is it to fly!
