Quel bellissimo niente
Renato Zero
That beautiful nothing
We were kids
Lost in the crowd
How many dreams chased
Through alleys and squares of this city
And just an old piano in a bar
Seemed imposing to me
That joy from nothing
I remember those years
The hopes never spoken
And the light of Rome
How beautiful it looked through the tram windows
Then the music came
To take me away with her
I was left forever
With that beautiful nothing
You were for me
The reason to exist in the world
Imagination
Made me fly with you
How many lives you let me live
A song is forever
As long as you sing it
Memory lights up
More poignant than ever
My Rome, you were great
Offering me your arm, complicity
And every street seems to tell you a bit about me
It comes back to my mind
That beautiful nothing
Still you
The reason to exist in the world
Thanks to you, I finally understood my place
That talent, after all
Is knowing how to live
I've been looking for you forever
My beautiful nothing
Don't get tired of me
How many lives you let me live
You've always been there
My beautiful people
Take care of yourself
And of me
