Una vita da mediano [English translation]

A life spent as a stopper

getting balls back

born without good feet

working on my lungs

a life as a stopper

with definite rules

sovereigning some areas

playing generously

there

always there

there, in the middle

as long as you can, you stay there

A life as a stopper

as who always scores just a few goals

'cause you have to pass the ball

to those who get the game to the end

a life as a stopper

as the nature didn't give you

the spirit neither of the attackman

nore of the 10, what a pity!

there

always there

there, in the middle

as long as you can you stay there

stay there

always there

there, in the middle

as long as you can

as long as you can

stay there

A life as a stopper

as one who gets burned soon

because when you've been givin' too much

you must go and leave your seat

a life as a stopper

working like Oriali

years of hard work and fights and

if you're lucky you'll win the world cup

here

always here

here in the middle

as long as I can I'll be here

I'll be here

always here

here in the middle

as long as I can

as long as I can

I'll be here
