C'est Une Chanson
Claudio Capéo
It's a Song
It's a song my mother used to sing to me
About love and Italy
I carry it inside, it's like a prayer
For the days when I don't love life
It's a song about being proud
Of building something with your own hands
It says: My child, you must love the earth
You don't need gold to be someone
It says: My child, you must love the earth
You don't need gold to be someone
Soon everything, soon everything, will be better
Sleep tight, baby, and dream of gold
Soon everything, soon everything, will be better
Sleep tight, baby, and dream of gold
It's a tune that heals the wounds
A breath of fresh air, of freedom
A little poem that served as my armor
When the night no longer knew how to rock me
Pain is just a sting, we heal from everything, I'm sure
I swear the world isn't that tough
You gotta dream a lot, that's all there is to it
That's what the song says, this little boy's melody
Oh oh, that's what the song says, this little boy's melody
Soon everything, soon everything, will be better
Sleep tight, baby, and dream of gold
Soon everything, soon everything, will be better
Sleep tight, baby, and dream of gold
It's a fact, life is a party
All things considered, a fairy tale
I know it's not true every day
But the moment I savor, that's my truth
I know it's not true every day
But the moment I savor
Soon everything, soon everything, will be better
Sleep tight, baby, and dream of gold
Keep going, keep going, and hug me
Close your eyes, when it's dark, I'll always be here
Keep going, keep going, and hug me
Close your eyes, when it's dark, I'll always be here
Close your eyes, when it's dark, I'll always be here, I'll always be here
