Lyrics and translation Fabrizio Moro - Era bello

Era bello

Era bello rinnegare tutta questa vita, lo sai
Era bello andare avanti e indietro
Con la scusa di restare lì
E prendimi la mano, prendimi la mano, prendimela adesso, senti
Siamo chiusi nella stanza ad ascoltare le canzoni vecchie
Siamo liberi come eravamo allora noi
Quanto odora l'erba se tramonta il sole, quando muore la primavera
C'è una strada di sassi per tornare a casa quando è sera

Era bello credere in te
Era bello, non lo è stato mai
Se dovessi chiedertelo adesso, io scommetto che ancora non lo sai
Era bello ritrovarti ogni giorno mentre adesso non so dove sei
Era bello dimenticarti e poi far finta di non esserci lasciati mai

Era bello non saper rispondere mai a niente di concreto
E cullarsi nell'idea genuina che le cose fanno il loro corso
E prendimi la mano, prendimi la mano, prendimela adesso, senti
Ci guardiamo come sconosciuti che dividono un bicchiere

Era bello credere in te
Era bello, non lo è stato mai
Se dovessi chiedertelo adesso, io scommetto che ancora non lo sai
Era bello ritrovarti ogni giorno mentre adesso non so dove sei
Era bello dimenticarti e poi far finta di non esserci lasciati mai
Era bello ritrovarti ogni giorno mentre adesso non so dove sei
Era bello dimenticarti e poi far finta di non esserci lasciati mai

It Was Beautiful

It was beautiful to deny all of this life, you know
It was beautiful to go back and forth
With the excuse of staying there
And take my hand, take my hand, take it now, listen
We're locked in the room listening to old songs
We're free like we were back then
How the grass smells when the sun sets, when spring dies
There's a stone road to go home when it's evening

It was beautiful to believe in you
It was beautiful, it never was
If I were to ask you now, I bet you still don't know
It was beautiful to find you every day, while now I don't know where you are
It was beautiful to forget you and then pretend we never left each other

It was beautiful to never answer anything concrete
And be lulled by the genuine idea that things take their course
And take my hand, take my hand, take it now, listen
We look at each other like strangers sharing a glass

It was beautiful to believe in you
It was beautiful, it never was
If I were to ask you now, I bet you still don't know
It was beautiful to find you every day, while now I don't know where you are
It was beautiful to forget you and then pretend we never left each other
It was beautiful to find you every day, while now I don't know where you are
It was beautiful to forget you and then pretend we never left each other
