Genius English Translations
Lucio Dalla - Ayrton (English Translation)
My name is Ayrton, and I'm a rider
And I run so fast to hit my road
Even if it isn't the same road anymore
Even if it isn't the same thing anymore
Even if there are no riders here
Even if there are no flags here
Even if there are no cigarettes and there's no beer here
Those they pay to go on
To go on what, in reality?
To sponsor what, in reality?
And, as a man, I've spent so many years
To learn that the fault was also mine
To learn that I've been a bit guilty just the same as them
And I've learned that it was all fake
I've learned that a winner has the same value as a loser
I've learned that people loved me
I could do something
I had to change something
And I've decided, on a May's night
In a dreamers' land
I've decided that, maybe, it was my turn
And I've learned that God had given me
The power of bringing back the world
Crashing in that road bend with me
He told me: "Close your eyes and rest"
And I've closed my eyes
My name is Ayrton, and I'm a rider
And I run so fast to hit my road
Even if it isn't the same road anymore
Even if it isn't the same thing anymore
Even if there are no riders here
Even if there are no flags here
Even if, maybe, it have not worked at all
After all, the circus will move to another city
You've told me: "Close your eyes and rest"
And now, I close my eyes...
