Translation of the song lyrics Non solo musica - Pooh

Non solo musica (original)

Eravamo in centomila,
con la voglia di suonare,
tutti quanti un po famosi,
per le strade del quartiere,
poche idee per?
confuse,
e gli accordi di «Michelle».
Pi?
crescevano i capelli,
pi?
sembravi un musicista,
niente soldi tanta scena,
pochi applausi in qualche festa,
e la musica stonava,
sotto a tutte le citt?.
Ma non era facile,
ci mettevi l’anima,
e provavi a farcela,
ma sembrava inutile.
Non era facile,
sopravvivevano
quelli che insistevano
di pi?.
Non solo musica,
ma sudore e polvere,
speranze facili,
entusiasmi e lacrime,
non solo musica,
ma promesse inutili,
pochi miracoli,
e traguardi scomodi,
ma tu che cominci adesso,
tu conta su te stesso,
tu se ci credi e cresci,
tu prima o poi ci riesci.
Eravamo in centomila,
ma ogni giorno
un po' pi?
soli,
e ci aumentavamo gli anni,
per firmare le cambiali,
gli strumenti da pagare,
e un provino al Piper Club.
E non era facile,
certi si stancavano,
altri si arrendevano,
molti si perdevano.
Non era facile,
non bastava crederci,
ci voleva qualche marcia in pi?.
Non solo musica,
ma coraggio e fantasia,
voglia di farcela,
incoscienza e qualche idea.
Non solo musica,
ogni giorno un giorno in pi?,
comunque musica,
e fortuna pi?
che mai.
Ma tu che cominci adesso,
tu conta su te stesso,
tu che ci credi e cresci,
tu prima o poi chi riesci.

(translation)

We were a hundred thousand,
with the desire to play,
all a little famous,
on the streets of the neighborhood,
few ideas for?
confused,
and the "Michelle" chords.
Pi?
hair grew,
pi?
you looked like a musician,
no money so much scene,
a few applause at some party,
and the music was out of tune,
under all the cities.
But it wasn't easy,
you put your soul into it,
and you tried to make it,
but it seemed useless.
It wasn't easy
survived
those who insisted
more.
Not just music,
but sweat and dust,
easy hopes,
enthusiasm and tears,
not just music,
but useless promises,
few miracles,
and uncomfortable goals,
but you who start now,
you rely on yourself,
if you believe in it and grow up,
you sooner or later succeed.
We were a hundred thousand,
but every day
a little more?
alone,
and we increased the years,
to sign bills,
the instruments to pay,
and an audition at the Piper Club.
And it wasn't easy,
some got tired,
others gave up,
many got lost.
It wasn't easy
it wasn't enough to believe it,
it took some extra gear.
Not just music,
but courage and imagination,
desire to make it,
unconsciousness and some ideas.
Not just music,
every day one more day,
anyway music,
and luck more?
that never.
But what about you now?
you rely on yourself,
you who believe in it and grow,
you sooner or later who can.
