Ermal destinated destination to die – the text
I remember those eyes full of life
And your smile wounded by the fists in the face
I remember the night with a few lights
But at least there were no wolves there
I remember the first day of school
Twenty -nine children and the teacher Margherita
Everyone asked me in chorus
Why I had a black eye
Your necklace with magic stone
I was holding it to take you away from there
And fear shattered thoughts
That the others thought about the bones
And the effort you had to do
From a book of hatred to teach me love
You stopped dreaming to get me dream
Your words are now a song
Change your stars, if you try you will succeed
And remember that love never affects the face
My son, he remembers, the man you will become
It will never be bigger than the love than you give

I have not forgotten the instant
In which I made myself great
To defend yourself from those hands
Even if I brought the shorts
Your necklace with magic stone
I was holding it to take you away from there
But the magic was over
He remained only to take his life
Change your stars, if you try you will succeed
And remember that love never affects the face
My son, he remembers, the man you will become
It will never be bigger than the love than you give
You know that a wound closes
And inside you can't see
What did you expect when you grow up
It is not late to start again
And choose a different way
And remember that love is not violence
Remember to disobey
And remember that it is forbidden to die, it is forbidden to die
Change your stars, if you try you will succeed
And remember that love never shoots you in your face
My son, remember well that the life you will have
It will never be far from the love that you give
Remember to disobey
Because it is forbidden to die
Remember to disobey
Because it is forbidden to die
Because it is forbidden to die
Forbidden to die
