TRANSLATION:
That day our small bicycle riding the wind
Running through the world reflected in the puddles
When I was a child I thought
"This balloon I let go will fly 'till the universe"
Friends hide inside (in chests) passion and yearning
Searching for a wonderful dream and for a lover
A road I started walking for my own self
And now I'll keep on walking side by side with you
Future's bicycle, at the same pace
Today and tomorrow too, will go on flying
The sky I looked up to
An infinite canvas
Let's push the propeller
A discovery-finding journey
In a hurry, lightly stepping into the rendez-vous cafè
In a discovered glance, such a blended smile
The courage born within tied hands
An happiness that cheers each other in such a wind
Future's bicycle is increasing the speed
Today and tomorrow too, will go on flying
The whereabouts of the dream
A catching radar
Two engines
A discovery-finding journey
Let's change the color of time
These ever-changing seasons
But since I'm with you
I can call ( get ) any kind of miracle
Future's bicycle, at the same pace,
Today and tomorrow too, will go on flying
The sky I looked up to
An infinite canvas
Let's push the propeller
A discovery-finding journey
A yielding journey
A journey to search ourselves
An anticipated journey
A journey to search for a future with you
NOTES:
This one was a really difficult one to translate. There are many verbs that sound quite strange in english. I tried my best to gave them a "poetic" translation, some parts are not literal at all, but I had to make a choice.
When he sings : "Two engines", the image I had was of two lovers/close friends traveling through life together. A single bycicle - two people. I wasn't sure about the title neither. I chose bicycle over bike because I didn't like the second one at all when I tried it. I know this isn't easy to understand - forgive me. m(_ _)m
If you have any suggestion or comment about the translation they'll be greatly appreciated.
