Destinazione paradiso [English translation]

A journey makes sense only without the return

if not in flight

without the stops and borders

only the horizons not even very distant

In this circle of souls

who turns round, loses and remains here

I know it for sure, my friend

I also have turned round

and to catch up with you I had to run

but the more I look around the more I can see

that there is a world that goes on even if

if you are not there anymore

If you are not there anymore

Has it ever happen to you to stop

to look back and see whether

the world has stopped there with you

or has it turned round the corned

to hide

I do it often and you know what

there’s the flame that doesn’t burn anymore

doesn’t burn anymore

doesn’t burn anymore

and tell me why

in this circle of souls

there is no place

to shake of

what we were told

and what one already knows

so, you know what there is

there’s, there’s, there’s that I take the train

that goes to Paradise City

and I greet you all and I jump in

I take the train and I don’t look back

the journey makes sense only without the return

if not in flight

without the stops and borders

only the horizons not even very distant

I’ll take my seat

and you, sitting there, by my side

will tell me: destination paradise

the journey makes sense only without the return

if not in flight

without the stops and borders

only the horizons not even very distant

I’ll take my seat

and you, sitting there, by my side

will tell me: destination paradise

there’s, there’s, there’s that I take the train

that goes to Paradise City

I’ll take my seat

and you, sitting there, by my side

will tell me: destination paradise
