Che confusione  
Sara perche ti amo  
E un'emozione  
Che cresce piano piano  
Stringimi forte e stammi piu vicino  
Se ci sto bene  
Sara perche ti amo  
Io canto al ritmo del dolce tuo respiro  
E primavera  
Sara perche ti amo  
Cade una stella  
Ma dimmi dove siamo  
Che te ne frega  
Sara perche ti amo  
E vola vola si sa  
Sempre piu in alto si va  
E vola vola con me  
Il mondo e matto perche  
E se l'amore non c'e  
Basta una sola canzone  
Per far confusione  
Fuori e dentro di te  
E vola vola si va  
Sempre piu in alto si va  
E vola vola con me  
Il mondo e matto perche  
E se l'amore non c'e  
Basta una sola canzone  
Per far confusione  
Fuori e dentro di te  
Ma dopo tutto  
Che cosa c'e di strano  
E una canzone  
Sara perche ti amo  
Se cade il mondo  
Allora ci spostiamo  
Se cade il mondo  
Sara perche ti amo  
Stringimi forte e stammi piu vicino  
E cosi bello che non mi sembra vero  
Se il mondo e matto  
Che cosa c'e di strano  
Matto per matto  
Almeno noi ci amiamo  
E vola vola si sa  
Sempre piu in alto si va  
E vola vola con me  
Il mondo e matto perche  
E se l'amore non c'e  
Basta una sola canzone  
Per far confusione  
Fuori e dentro di te  
E vola vola si va  
Sara perche ti amo  
E vola vola con me  
E stammi piu vicino  
E se l'amore non c'e  
Ma dimmi dove siamo  
Che confusione  
Sara perche ti amo

Lyrics in English:

What a mess  
It will be because I love you  
It's an emotion  
Which grows slowly  
Hold me tight and stay closer to me  
If I'm fine with it  
It will be because I love you  
I sing to the rhythm of your sweet breath  
It's spring  
It will be because I love you  
A star falls  
But tell me where we are  
Why you care  
It will be because I love you  
And fly flies you know  
It goes higher and higher  
And fly, fly with me  
The world is mad because  
And if there is no love  
Just one song is enough  
To get confused  
Outside and inside you  
And fly fly you go  
It goes higher and higher  
And fly, fly with me  
The world is mad because  
And if there is no love  
Just one song is enough  
To get confused  
Outside and inside you  
But after all  
What's weird  
It's a song  
It will be because I love you  
If the world falls  
Then we move  
If the world falls  
It will be because I love you  
Hold me tight and stay closer to me  
It's so beautiful that it doesn't seem real to me  
If the world is crazy  
What's weird  
Crazy for crazy  
At least we love each other  
And fly flies you know  
It goes higher and higher  
And fly, fly with me  
The world is mad because  
And if there is no love  
Just one song is enough  
To get confused  
Outside and inside you  
And fly fly you go  
It will be because I love you  
And fly, fly with me  
And stay closer to me  
And if there is no love  
But tell me where we are  
What a mess  
It will be because I love you
