Vorrei Cantare Come Biagio

Simone Cristicchi

I Wish I Could Sing Like Biagio

Chorus: I wish I could sing like Biagio Antonacci
I wish I could weigh like Biagio Antonacci
Signing autographs for fans, filling arenas
And do what Biagio Antonacci does
I wish I could dress like Biagio Antonacci
I wish I could live with Biagio Antonacci
If my childhood idol was Jim Morrison
With Rambo and Rocky, now it's just Biagio Antonacci

I enjoy the respect of my peers and as nostalgic as I am, I've never been
like Paolo Limiti
I recognize my limits, I'm Little Red Riding Hood lost in these artistic
woods
Believe in yourself, they tell me, believe and you'll make it to Palalottomatica
or Festivalbar, trust me, they say, trust me, you'll make it. But I feel like a
substitute player condemned to stand-by
I'm highly esteemed by fellow singer-songwriters, CEOs, and even producers
This niche audience loves me, but I feel as small as a lentil

Your light music is heavy, you find it on CDs, LPs, and keyboard disks
While you find me around some evenings, in a place where there's definitely
no line outside
Unfortunately, we don't keep each other company at the top of the charts
Building success is always an alchemy of music and lyrics
You're a great master, I dedicate this piece to you and hope you'll return the
favor

I'm good at writing songs, yes, but you're better, but you're better
I'm good at giving emotions, yes, but you're better
But how much longer, do I have to keep going
How much longer, I feel bad because

Chorus: Unfortunately, I'm not Biagio Antonacci
I wish I could weigh like Biagio Antonacci
Signing autographs for fans, filling arenas
And do what Biagio Antonacci does
I wish I could dress like Biagio Antonacci
I wish I could live with Biagio Antonacci
If my childhood idol was Jim Morrison
With Rambo and Rocky, now it's just Biagio Antonacci.
