Il Sognatore
Peppino di Capri
The Dreamer
I've become a dreamer
To feel less lonely
And to not know how many years I have
I've become a dreamer
Selling dreams for a living
I even sing songs that I don't know
Just need to close my eyes
To photograph the world
And to look at it in negative
How deep the sea is
And this wrinkle on my face
Is the tattoo of a pain
I am a dreamer
I got lost among the stars
And among cheap loves
I've touched the bottom of freedom
Some say I'm crazy
Or that I'm lucky
Because those who dream have no disappointments
Maybe you were the first
The only hypothesis of life
Maybe I keep saying maybe
To not say it's over
Your rules of the game
I reluctantly respect
I am a dreamer
And I'm leaving
Leaving a poem on your lips
What will be
What importance does it have for this life
I've become a dreamer
And those who read my cards
Discovered that I don't have a destiny
And like dreamers do
I manage to step aside
While the world keeps telling me no
In a thousand years there will be
Those who will speak of dreamers
Like animals of the past
Who ate emotions
In a thousand years or in two hours
But let me say
I remain a dreamer
And I'm leaving
Leaving a poem on your lips
What will be
What importance does it have for this life
And I'm leaving
Where the sky
Descends to the bottom of the sea
What does it matter
If in the world I remain alone
A dreamer
