Swiss 2008 Eurovision Song
Lyrics & Video
Era Stupendo
C’è una parte di me
che tacere non sa
quando guardo l’odio che c’è
il dolore, la povertà
mi rivedo bambino io
che correvo nel blu
Era stupendo volare via, sfidare il tempo, la fantasia
la tua mano e la mia, nella stessa poesia ,
era stupendo
Ma una notte vedrai
dal destino uscirò, lo giuro
se la vita ci aspetterà
torneremo laggiù
Sarà stupendo volare via,sfidare ancora il tempo,la fantasia
e poi la tua mano e la mia, nella stessa poesia
era stupendo, era stupendo
perchè non c’è pace finchè
tutti pensano a sè
era stupendo volare via, sfidare il tempo,la fantasia
la tua mano e la mia, nella stessa poesia.
era stupendo, era stupendo
English Translation
There’s a part of me
That can’t keep quiet
When I look at the hatred which is here
Pain, poverty
I see myself again as a child
Running in the blue
It was wonderful to fly away
To challenge the wind, the fantasy
Your hand and mine
In the same poem
It was wonderful
But one night you’ll see
I’ll run away from destiny, I swear
If life will wait for us
We’ll return down there
It will be wonderful to fly away
To challenge again the fantasy
And then your hand and mine
In the same poem
It was wonderful
It was wonderful
Because there’s no peace
Until everyone will think of themselves
It was wonderful to fly away
To challenge the wind, the fantasy
Your hand and mine
In the same poem
It was wonderful
It was wonderful

There’s a part of me
That can’t keep quiet
I see there’s rancour
Pain, poverty
I see myself again as a child
Who ran on blue
It was wonderful to fly away
To challenge the wind, the fantasy
Your hand and mine
In the same poem
It was wonderful
But some night you’ll see
I’ll run away from destiny, I swear
If life will wait for us
We’ll return down there
It will be wonderful to fly away
To challenge again the fantasy
And then your hand and mine
In the same poem
It was wonderful
It was wonderful
Because there’s no peace
As long as everyone thinks of himself
It was wonderful to fly away
To challenge the wind, the fantasy
Your hand and mine
In the same poem
It was wonderful
It was wonderful
Thanks belesar!
I think it is is a good song, mi piace!
and I really love italian hehe
Song 7
What’s there not to love about a typical Italian song and this guy?
And the audience also loves him of course
HOW THE **** CAN THIS NOT GO TO THE FINAL???? I’m so upset over that. HOW?!?!?!?! I can’t understand it. Why didn’t it get more votes, not even the juries seem to have liked it. Maybe the plagiarism theory has come to far out in Europe…..:@
This is one of my favourites this year and still it did not make it through….
This is beautiful song! But i like more Eurobandia-It’s my life …i want for them to win!
This is an balade, i don’t think this is gonna win, but it’s great! Really, it is…
i’m so angry…this is a beautiful song! it’s one of my favourites! anyway…i think it will win armenia or ukrajina!
oh… i’m so angry! This is a beautiful song! It’s one of my favourites! Anyway I think that Armenia, Ukraina or BOSNIA & HERZEGOWINA will win! Go B&H!!!
i’m russian, from Moscow.
‘Era stupendo” is a really beautiful song.
And I hate Dima Bilan, the winner.
And I know him myself.
Bad song, bad boy.
Thnx belesar! well done!
what’s the matter with Dima Bilan?
I think that ‘Believe’ is a beautiful song, but it doesn’t fit into ESC.
I think paolo meneguzzi is the best singer.his voice is a creation of love ..is a vast vision of nature … combination between immortal things..his voice tells you dosent matter what your language is ,and its a connection. (congratulations paolo)
Elmira, your words are pretty much the exact same thoughts I have! Paolo’s voice and his music move me so deeply and there is something unique about that person. I have all his cd’s both italian and spanish and I love every song. This man is simply beautiful, inside out!
