1. TO BE NUMBER ONE (SUMMER 1990)
(Official Song Of Fifa World Cup)
Music: Giorgio Mororder
Lyric: Whitlock/Bennato/Nannini
To win or lose is not the only thing
It's all in how we play the fairest game
This is the chance we take
Reaching for the top
Time records the victory in our hearts
To be number one
Running like the wind
Playing hard - but always playing fair
(Oh year)
To be number one
Winning again and again
Reaching higher -
To be number one
This is what we've wanted all our lives
Shining like a shooting star at night
We've got to give it all
When we hear the call
Time records the victory in our hearts
To be number one
Running like the wind
Playing haed - but always playing fair
(Oh year)
To be number one
Winning again and again
Reaching higher
To be number one
To be number one...
That's enough, that's enough
That's enough, that's enough
All my friends are talkin, say they gotta get away
Heading for the playgrounds of the stars
While they're sil'l vous plaiting on the sands of St.Tropez
I'll stay here and vacation in your arms
That's enough, that's enough
That's enough, that's enough
Mansions on a hill, houses on the shore
Thousand dollar bills, there's so much more
Well what's the price of love
How much would I pay
To have you by my side
I'd give it all away
Everybody wants a little more than they got
Runnin round in circles keeping score
But we have found a secret way we have of stopping the clock
All we have to do is lock teh door
That's enough, that's enough
That's enough, that's enough...
Then I pull you close to me and my body rules your mind
I take you in my arms and you say take me home - take me home
The way you move just seems to be criminal
I just can't say get enough
The meaning can be somewhat subliminal
So say no more
I wonder if a girl has ever moved anyone like this
I start to fall for you and then you say to me
take me home
I don't ask for much
I just want love unconditional
I don't ask for much
I just want you to take me home
All around the world there is a dream
Love at first sight - lover's eternity
Maybe this can be our fantasy
Rescue me - set me free
Town to town everywhere I go I see what's goin' on
people lookin' for their freedom say more more more
So word has it that you been gettin' down
With all the boys in your book
Well sugar you better treat me right
Or you'll be takin' one final look
I don't ask for much
I just want love unconditional
I don't ask for much
I just want you to take me home
Take me home
All around the world there is a dream
Love at first sight - lovers eternity
Maybe this can be our fantasy
Rescue me - set me free
Take me home
I don't ask for much...
The rhythm of love
Keeps on bringin' you back
Again and again
Come on over - hold me closer
Tell me can you feel
The rhythm of love?
Save me from the life of the lonely
Baby we got it right now
Maybe we can love one another
Reaching for the heart of mystery
The rhythm of love
Keeps on bringing you back
Again and again
Come on over - hold me closer
Tell me can you feel
The rhythm of love
That keeps on bringin' you back
Again and again?
Come on over - hold me closer
Tell me can you feel
The rhythm of love?
Lately you've been drivin' me crazy
Baby you're drivin' me wild
Maybe you can be my lover
Feels so right to find
A love that's true
The rhythm of love
Keeps on bringin' you back
Again and again
Come on over - hold me closer
Tell me can you feel
The rhythm of love?
The rhythm of love...
Every night and every day
We can find a better way to live all our lives
We can be as one again
Finally find a way to say that we know the truth
Reaching for the higher ground
Listening for the haunting sound of love alive
Lifting up our voices high
Knowing there's a reason why we're living
Reaching out across the miles
Through the haze that clouds the sky
And has for so long
We have only so much time
To finally try to make it right and say I love you
'Til the end of time we love
Reaching for the higher ground
'Til the end of time we live
Giving all we have to give
Children of another time
We lay it all upon the line
To say I love you
Every night and every day
We can find a better way to live
Believe in love
'Til the end of time we love
Reaching for the higher ground
'Til the end of time we live
Giving all we have to give
'Til the end of time...
Through the wind and the rain
I'll shelter and keep you warm
Surrender and hope is born
Feel the thunder
Take my heart in your hands
There's no more need to wonder
We can touch and understand
Feel the thunder as our souls entwine
And melt into each other
No more you's and no more I
Then we can break these chains
Leave this desperate place
And find a love that's healing
We'll reach a higher ground
Where what was lost is found
And face the dark believing, believing
Time passes and takes it's toll
But we can be afraid
Sharing the love we've grown
And when tomorrow becomes today
I will be at your side
Needing you all the way
Through the wind and the rain
I'll shelter and keep you warm
Surrender and hope is born
Feel the thunder
Take my heart in your hands
There's no more need to wonder
We can touch and understand
Feel the thunder as our souls entwine
And melt into each other
No more you's and no more I
Feel the thunder...
Lookin' into your eyes I see straight into your soul
I have to tell you the truth 'cause to you I can't lie
It's not the same as with other girls I know
We can have it all every night and day
Hey - love will find a way
Hey - living for today
Hey - love will find a way
Hey - living for today
Lookin' into your eyes I see straight into your soul
I have to tell you the truth 'cause to you I can't lie
It's not the same as with other girls I know
We can have it all every night and day
Hey - love will find a way
Hey - living for today
Hey - love will find a way
Hey - living for today
Come along - it's the same old song
Of good boys versus bad
If it's up to me and I have a choice
I'm gonna go for bad
When he moves like that
I lose my mind - givin' up all control
I'm getting too close to the fire
It burns my soul
I've been livin' for him - always givin' in
It's emotional kind of thing
It's not a question of the heart
Love's not everything
'Cause I'm a bad boy - every night and day
Anyplace you want to go - you just say
'Cause I'm a bad boy - every night and day
Anyplace you want to go - you just say
'Cause I'm a bad boy
People keep talkin' and they talk a little more
Of the way he behaves - but we don't care what the people say
He's a bad boy
The people talk - well let'em talk about the way he behaves
But we don't care what people say
Here he comes - lookin' good - wait, here comes the fun part
Yeah - yeah - yeah
'Cause I'm a bad boy - every night and day
Anyplace you want to go - you just say
'Cause I'm a bad boy (love is so emotional)
Every night and day - anyplace you want to go
You just say - 'cause I'm a bad boy - bad boy
People keep talkin' and they talk a little more
Of the way he behaves - but we don't care what the people say
He's a bad boy
The people talk - well let'em talk about the way he behaves
But we don't care what people say
Yeah - yeah - yeah
We don't care how we behave 'cause sometimes bad is good
So come along and follow us because bad is pretty good
He's a bad boy...
It's in my heart from deep within my soul
I've got to take a chance again
It's the only thing that makes the world go 'round
The loser has got to win
Livin' in a world of dreamers just waiting for a change
If anybody wants to come along I see the way
What a beautiful day it is to be alive
I can feel the wind is gonna change
This time it all comes true
What a beautiful day to let it ride
I see my life go right before my eyes
I can't just let it slip away
There's a place in time where everything looks right
And we can find a better way
I dream the dreams of larger things just tryin' to survive
Maybe if you're feelin' good we'll go for the ride
What a beautiful day it is to be alive
I can feel the wind is gonna change
This time it all comes true
What a beautiful day to let it ride
What a beautiful day it is...
I should have known - I should have known
The things you try to tell me
I can't believe anything you say anymore
You say you'll stay - you say you'll leave
You've said it to me about a million times before
Break the rules - but don't break my heart no
Break the rules - I don't care - but don't break my heart
Don't break my heart - don't break my heart
My friends are always talkin'
How you're runnin' all around the town
And when I try to call you
Your machine tells me that you're not around
Break the rules - but don't break my heart no
Break the rules - I don't care - but don't break my heart
Don't break my heart - don't break my heart
I should have known - don't break my heart
Don't tear it apart
I should have known - don't break my heart
I should have known - don't tear it apart
I should have known - don't break my heart
Don't tear it apart
There comes a time you gotta make up your mind
You gotta make yourself a choice
Speak up a little louder honey
Ain't nothin' wrong with your voice
What, do you think I'm crazy?
Think I'm deaf, dumb and blind?
Cross me one more time sugar
I'll leave your heart behind
I should have known - I should have known
Break the rules - but don't break my heart no
Break the rules - I don't care - but don't break my heart
Don't break my heart - don't break my heart
Break the rules...
E il mondo in una giostra do colori
E il vento accarezza le bandiere
Arriva un brivido e ti trascina via
E sciogli in un abbraccio la follia
Notti magiche
Inseguendo un goal
Sotto il cielo
Di un'estate italiana
E negli occhi tuoi
Voglia di vincere
Un'estate
Un'avventura in piu
Quel sogno che comincia da bambino
E che ti porta sempre piu lontano
Non e una favola - e dgali spogliatoi
Escono i ragazzi e siamo noi
Notti magiche
Inseguendo un goal
Sotto il cielo
Di un'estate italiana
E negli occhi tuoi
Voglia di vincere
Un'estate
Un'avventura in piu
Notti magiche
Inseguendo un goal
Sotto il cielo
Di un'estate italiana
E negli occhi tuoi
Voglia di vincere
Un'estate
Un'avventura in piu
Un'avventura
Un'avventura in piu
Un'avventura - goal!
