Translation of the song lyrics Bambini - Ex-Otago

Bambini (original)

Eravamo bambini
Ci davamo mille baci
Ci volevamo bene
Ma non lo sapevamo bene
A correre sui prati
Le ginocchia sempre sanguinanti
E ridevamo sempre
Piangevamo sempre
Ma era bello così, perché
Guardavamo un mondo, sì
Ma non per quello che è, perché
Perché era straordinario inseguire il pallone con te, perché
Perché eravamo sinceri, seguivamo l’istinto facendoci male
Non era facile capire che eravamo solo noi
Eravamo bambini
Sempre allegri, sempre disperati
Ma volevamo il mare
Ma non sapevamo nuotare
Con la bici giù dalle montagne
Con la pioggia, con il sole delle due
E il vento in faccia sempre
E innamorati sempre
Era bello così, perché
Guardavamo un mondo, sì
Ma non per quello che è, perché
Perché era straordinario inseguire il pallone con te, perché
Perché eravamo sinceri, seguivamo l’istinto facendoci male
Non era facile capire che eravamo solo noi, perché
Guardavamo un mondo, sì
Ma non per quello che è, perché
Perché era straordinario inseguire il pallone con te, perché
Perché eravamo sinceri, seguivamo l’istinto facendoci male
Non era facile capire che eravamo solo noi
Voglio ritornare bambino
Voglio ritornare bambino
Giocare con mio padre a nascondino
Voglio ritornare bambino
Voglio ritornare bambino
Guardare le montagne dal finestrino

Bambini (translation)

We were children
We gave each other a thousand kisses
We loved each other
But we didn't know that well
Running on the meadows
Knees always bleeding
And we always laughed
We were always crying
But it was so beautiful, why
We looked at a world, yes
But not for what it is, why
Because it was extraordinary to chase the ball with you, because
Because we were sincere, we followed instinct and hurt ourselves
It wasn't easy to see that it was just us
We were children
Always happy, always desperate
But we wanted the sea
But we didn't know how to swim
With the bike down from the mountains
With the rain, with the sun at two o'clock
And the wind in your face always
And always fall in love
It was so beautiful, why
We looked at a world, yes
But not for what it is, why
Because it was extraordinary to chase the ball with you, because
Because we were sincere, we followed instinct and hurt ourselves
It wasn't easy to understand that it was just us, why
We looked at a world, yes
But not for what it is, why
Because it was extraordinary to chase the ball with you, because
Because we were sincere, we followed instinct and hurt ourselves
It wasn't easy to see that it was just us
I want to be a child again
I want to be a child again
Playing hide and seek with my father
I want to be a child again
I want to be a child again
Look at the mountains from the window
