[English]

And now I swear I'll pack my bags

And run away to another dimension

I'm tired of your gray faces

I want a pink world full of color

You buy love with Visa cards

With faces soaked, yes, but in sweat

And now I swear I'll pack my bags and escape from the sweet

Marlena, Marlena, yes, take me dancing tonight

Marlena, Marlena, yes, take me dancing tonight

Marlena, Marlena, yes, take me dancing tonight

Marlena, Marlena, yes, take me dancing

My friend, you need to be happy

Because the new world is about to arrive

And there's no cut, no scar

That this passion can't heal

God, I rise from dust like a phoenix

I'm reborn and I've learned to fly

Just because I packed my bags and kissed the sweet

Marlena, Marlena, yes, take me dancing tonight

Marlena, Marlena, yes, take me dancing tonight

Marlena, Marlena, yes, take me dancing tonight

Marlena, Marlena, yes, take me dancing

The dance of life

The dance of life

The dance of life

The dance of life

The dance of

Marlena, Marlena, yes, come speak to me, I pray

Marlena, Marlena, I will listen to you, I pray

Marlena, Marlena, teach me to fight, I plead

Marlena, Marlena, yes, take me dancing

The dance of life

The dance of life

The dance of life

The dance of life

[Italian]

E adesso giuro faccio le valigie

E scappo via in un'altra dimensione

Son stanco delle vostre facce grigie

Voglio un mondo rosa pieno di colore

Voi comprate amore con le carte Visa

Con le facce intrise sì ma di sudore

E adesso giuro faccio le valigie e scappo via dalla dolce

Marlena, Marlena, sì portami a ballare stasera

Marlena, Marlena, sì portami a ballare stasera

Marlena, Marlena, sì portami a ballare stasera

Marlena, Marlena, sì portami a bailar

Amico mio devi essere felice

Perché il nuovo mondo sta per arrivare

E non c'è taglio, non c'è cicatrice

Che questa passione non possa curare

Dio io dalla polvere come fenice

Son risorto ed ho imparato anche a volare

Soltanto perché ho fatto le valigie ed ho baciato la dolce

Marlena, Marlena, sì portami a ballare stasera

Marlena, Marlena, sì portami a ballare stasera

Marlena, Marlena, sì portami a ballare stasera

Marlena, Marlena, sì portami a bailar

Il ballo della vita

Il ballo della vita

Il ballo della vita

Il ballo della vita

Il ballo di

Marlena, Marlena, sì vienimi a parlare, ti prego

Marlena, Marlena, io ti starò a ascoltare, ti prego

Marlena, Marlena, insegnami a lottare, ti prego

Marlena, Marlena, sì portami a bailar

Il ballo della vita

Il ballo della vita

Il ballo della vita

Il ballo della vita
