Mahmood & Blanco – Brividi – Italian lyrics
I dream of flying with you
on a diamond bike.
You tell me you’ve changed,
I no longer see the light in your eyes
What are your fears?
sea never touched
even without sex
escape route from the bottom
come on, don’t run away from here
don’t leave me like this
trembling naked
Sometimes I don’t know how to express myself
I want to love you but I’m always wrong
I want to steal the pearly sky from you
I’m willing to pay to leave,
I will also accept lies
I want to love you but I’m always wrong
I get chills, chills, chills
you wake me up in the morning
You who stained the bed with wine
you bit my skin
with your viper eyes
And you, you are the opposite of an angel
And you, you’re like a boxer in the corner
You run away from here, you leave me like this
trembling naked
Sometimes I don’t know how to express myself
I want to love you but I’m always wrong
I want to steal the pearly sky from you
I’m willing to pay to leave,
I will also accept lies
I want to love you but I’m always wrong
I get chills, chills, chills
tell me i’m wrong
I live in prison,
I try to get close to you
But sorry if I send everything to hell
I can’t tell you how I feel, it’s my limit
For one I love you I mixed drugs and tears
The poison we spit on each other every day
I don’t want to open again
Look, here I am
on a diamond bike, one of the
trembling naked
Sometimes I don’t know how to express myself
I want to love you but I’m always wrong
I want to steal the pearly sky from you
I’m willing to pay to leave
I will also accept lies
I want to love you but I’m always wrong
I get chills, chills, chills
Mahmood & Blanco – Trembling – English translation
I dream of flying with you
on a diamond bike.
You tell me you’ve changed,
I no longer see the light in your eyes
What are your fears?
sea never touched
even without sex
escape route from the bottom
come on, don’t run away from here
don’t leave me like this
Naked and shaking
Sometimes I don’t know how to express myself
I want to love you but I’m always wrong
I want to steal the pearly sky from you
I’m willing to pay to leave,
I will also accept lies
I want to love you but I’m always wrong
I get chills, chills, chills

You who stained the bed with wine
you bit my skin
with your viper eyes
And you, you are the opposite of an angel
And you, you’re like a boxer in the corner
You run away from here, you leave me like this
Naked and shaking
Sometimes I don’t know how to express myself
I want to love you but I’m always wrong
I want to steal the pearly sky from you
I’m willing to pay to leave,
I will also accept lies
I want to love you but I’m always wrong
I get chills, chills, chills
tell me i’m wrong
I live in prison,
I try to get close to you
But sorry if I screwed everything up
I can’t tell you how I feel, it’s my limit
For “I Love You” I mixed drugs and tears
The poison we spit on each other every day
I don’t want it on me anymore
Look, here I am
on a diamond bike, one of the
Naked and shaking
Sometimes I don’t know how to express myself
I want to love you but I’m always wrong
I want to steal the pearly sky from you
I’m willing to pay to leave,
I will also accept lies
I want to love you but I’m always wrong
I get chills, chills, chills
