Original Lyrics
Translation in Italian

verse

Welcome to your life
Benvenuto nella tua vita
There′s no turning back
Non si può tornare indietro
Even while we sleep
Neanche mentre dormiamo
We will find you
Ti troveranno

chorus

Acting on your best behaviour
Comportati nel modo migliore
Turn your back on Mother Nature
Volta le spalle alla natura
Everybody wants to rule the world
Tutti vogliono governare il mondo

verse

It's my own design
È il mio disegno
It′s my own remorse
È il mio rimorso
Help me to decide
Aiutami a decidere
Help me make the
Aiutami a realizzare

chorus

Most of freedom and of pleasure
Il più della libertà e del piacere
Nothing ever lasts forever
Niente dura per sempre
Everybody wants to rule the world
Tutti vogliono governare il mondo

bridge

There's a room where the light won't find you
C'è una stanza dove la luce non ti troverà
Holding hands while the walls come tumbling down
Tenendosi per mano mentre le pareti crollano giù
When they do, I′ll be right behind you
Quando succederà, io sarò proprio dietro di te

chorus

So glad we′ve almost made it
Felice di avercela quasi fatta
So sad they had to fade it
Triste che abbiano dovuto svanire
Everybody wants to rule the world
Tutti vogliono governare il mondo
I can't stand this indecision
Non sopporto questa indecisione
Married with a lack of vision
Sposato con una mancanza di prospettiva
Everybody wants to rule the-
Tutti vogliono governare il-
Say that you′ll never, never, never, never need it
Dici che non ti servirà mai (non ne avrai mai bisogno)
One headline, why believe it?
Un titolo, perchè crederci?
Everybody wants to rule the world
Tutti vogliono governare il mondo
All for freedom and for pleasure
Tutto per libertà e piacere
Nothing ever lasts forever
Niente dura per sempre
Everybody wants to rule the world
Tutti vogliono governare il mondo
Writer(s): Roland Orzabal, Ian Stanley, Chris Hughes
