Lyrics of Il mondo prima - Tre Allegri Ragazzi Morti

Il mondo prima (original)

Era bello vedere che il verde ritorna e che si svegliano i ghiri
Era bello sapere che dopo l’inverno la voglia ritorna anche a te
Era bello sapere che solo d’estate come gli insetti sui fiori
Era bello vedere i capelli bruciare e cambiare colore
Era bello vederti nuotare andare in fondo per poi risalire
Era bello star svegli la notte e tutto il giorno dormire
Il mondo prima che arrivassi te
Era bello cadere d’autunno sopra le foglie come le foglie
Era bello sentirti cantare giù per le scale
Era bello vederti ballare
Era bello, era bello
Il mondo prima che arrivassi te
Era bello il cielo d’inverno come i tuoi denti
Era bello sentire le tue mani fredde cercare qualcosa di me
Era bello i tuoi piedi sopra le cosce
Un po' come fossimo in moto
Ma distesi sul letto mio fresco
Quasi come guidassi tu
Il mondo prima che arrivassi te

(translation)

It was nice to see that the green returns and that the dormice awaken
It was nice to know that after winter the desire returns to you too
It was nice to know that only in summer like insects on flowers
It was nice to see the hair burn and change color
It was nice to see you swim to the bottom and then go up again
It was nice to stay up at night and sleep all day
The world before you came
It was as beautiful to fall on leaves in autumn as leaves
It was nice to hear you sing down the stairs
It was good to see you dance
It was beautiful, it was beautiful
The world before you came
The winter sky was as beautiful as your teeth
It was nice to feel your cold hands searching for something of me
It felt good your feet above your thighs
A bit like we were on a motorcycle
But I lay down on my cool bed
Almost like you were driving
The world before you came
