La Vita Fugge Lyrics - Vision Divine

[Music:Smirnoff,Magnani - Melody:Luppi - Lyrics:Magnani] 

La vita fugge et non s'arresta una hora, 

et la morte vien dietro a gran giornate, 

et le cose presenti, et le passate 

mi danno guerra, et le future anchora; 

e 'l rimembrare et l'aspettar m'accora 

or quinci or quindi, si che 'n veritate, 

se non ch'i' ho di me stesso pietate, 

i' sarei gia di questi pensier' fora. 

Tornami avanti s'alcun dolce mai 

ebbe 'l cor tristo; et poi da l'altra parte 

veggio al mio navigar turbati i venti; 

veggio fortuna in porto, et stanco omai 

il mio nocchier, et rotte arbore et sarte, 

e i lumi bei, che mirar soglio, spenti. 

[F. Petrarca - Sonetto CCLXXII] 

If I could stop time... 

How many things that I would change from the past 

I'd set my life right 

If I could live forever 

How many emotions I would learn to control 

And feel what I want 

Time is running too fast for me 

You can't stop its course 

Never surrender, I'll sleep when I'm dead 

Time is moving along too fast 

I can't think straight 

Won't take all the time that I need 

If I try I'll always be late 

I wanna kill time 

Win my own war to survive 

Only a chance... I'd surely not fail 

Time is running too fast for me 

You can't stop its course 

Never surrender, I'll sleep when I'm dead 

Time is moving along too fast 

I can't think straight 

Won't take all the time that I need 

If I try I'll always be late 

Time is running too fast for me 

You can't stop its course 

Never surrender, I'll sleep when I'm dead 

Time is moving along too fast 

I can't think straight 

Won't take all the time that I need 

I'll always be late
