COLDPLAY & Big Sean - "Miracles (Someone Special)"

Miracles (Someone Special)

 

 

 

 

My father said never give up son.                        =non arrenderti mai

Just look how good Cassius* become.            * Cassius Clay/Muhammad Ali, boxer

Mohammed, Mahatma, and Nelson*                *Mahatma Gandhi, Nelson Mandela

Not scared to be strong

Now you could run and just say they're right

No I'll never be no one in my whole life  =non sarò mai nessuno per tutta la vita

Or you could turn and see the way they're wrong

And get to keep on dancing all life long

My father said never give up, son

Just look what Amelia* and Joan* done     *Amelia Earhart (pilot), Joan of Arc

Or Rosa*, Teresa*, the war won                     *Rosa Parks, Mother Teresa

Not scared to be strong

Now you could run and just say they're right

No I'll never be no one in my whole life

Or you could turn and see the way they're wrong

And get to keep on dancing all life long

Yeah you could be       = tu potresti essere qualcuno speciale

Someone special

You've got bright in your brains and

Lightning in your veins

You'll go higher then they've ever gone = andrai più in alto di quanto loro siano andati

In you I see

Someone special

You've got fire in your eyes and

When you realize                             =quando capirai

You'll go further then we've ever gone (look) =andrai più lontano di quanto noi siamo andati

Just turn it on

I pay my intuition I couldn't afford tuition

My funds was insufficient and it felt I'm in prison

Until I realized I had to set my mind free = finché ho capito che dovevo liberare la mia mente

I was trusting statistics more than I trust me

Get a degree, good job, 401k

But I'm trying to turn Ks to Ms what does it take?

And maybe I could be the new Ali of music, probably

Instead of doing it just as a hobby like these boys told me to

I guess you either watch the show or you're showin' proof =credo che o guardi lo show o ne dai prova

Prove it to them you prove it to yourself           =provalo a te stesso

But honestly it's better if you do it for yourself =è meglio se lo fai per te stesso

Never complacent 'til we hit the oasis

One life, don't waste it, feel my heart races, success I taste it, I =una vita, non sprecarla

We on the verge again and every single day that we deserve

Yeah you could be 

Someone special

You've got fire in your eyes 

I see heaven inside 

You'll go further then we've ever gone

In you I see 

Someone special

You've got bright in your brains 

You can break through those chains  =puoi rompere quelle catene

You'll go higher then we've ever gone

Just turn it on

In you I see 

Someone special

Don't go to war with yourself

Just turn, just turn, just turn it on

And you can't go wrong   =non ti puoi sbagliare
