[English]

I wish it were Sunday

Riding bikes without hands

An hysterical laugh

And messing up your plans

And flying without a propeller

Without a propeller with you

...

I wish it were Sunday

No stadium, no games

Just a pathetic line

On this road, going

Flying without a propeller

Without a propeller, me and you

...

It's like we're kids

Like we're fated

Running side by side

With our hands in the wind

Like it's Sunday with you, with you

...

I wish it were Sunday

You with your feet on the dash

Me with my arm hanging out

The clock under the burning sun

And I think back to my life without you

...

I wish it were Sunday

And your mom was a little less, a bit less neurotic

And your dad today only drinks tonic water

Me and you laughing

...

Like we're kids

Like we're fated

Running side by side (Running side by side)

With our hands in the wind (With our hands in the wind)

Like it's Sunday with you, with you

...

I wish it were Sunday

...

I wish it were Sunday

And you hold the day between your fingers

Since it's already about to end

That's life

That's life

It's like we're kids

Like we're fated

Running side by side (Running side by side)

With our hands in the wind (With our hands in the wind)

Like it's Sunday with you, with you

...

Like it's Sunday with you (Running side by side)

...

With you (With our hands in the wind)

Like it's Sunday with you, with you

Like it's Sunday with you (Running side by side)

With you (With our hands in the wind)

Like it's Sunday with you, with you

...

[Italian]

Vorrei fosse domenica

Andare in bici senza mani

Una risata isterica

E sconvolgere i tuoi piani

E volare senz'elica

Senz'elica con te

Vorrei fosse domenica

Niente stadio, né partite

E una coda patetica

Su questa statale andare

Volare senz'elica

Senz'elica io e te

È come se fossimo bambini

Come se fossimo destini

Che si corrono accanto

Con le mani nel vento

Come fosse domenica con te, con te

Vorrei fosse domenica

Tu coi piedi sul cruscotto

Io il braccio che penzola

L'orologio sotto al sole che scotta

E ripenso alla mia vita senza te

Vorrei fosse domenica

E tua madre fosse meno, un po' meno nevrotica

E tuo padre oggi bevesse soltanto acqua tonica

Io e te a ridere

Come se fossimo bambini

Come se fossimo destini

Che si corrono accanto (Che si corrono accanto)

Con le mani nel vento (Con le mani nel vento)

Come fosse domenica con te, con te

Vorrei fosse domenica

Vorrei fosse domenica

E stringi la giornata fra le dita

Che fra poco è già finita

Così è la vita

Così è la vita

È come se fossimo bambini

Come se fossimo destini

Che si corrono accanto (Che si corrono accanto)

Con le mani nel vento (Con le mani nel vento)

Come fosse domenica con te, con te

Come fosse domenica con te (Che si corrono accanto)

Con te (Con le mani nel vento)

Come fosse domenica con te, con te

Come fosse domenica con te (Che si corrono accanto)

Con te (Con le mani nel vento)

Come fosse domenica con te, con te
