Tutta la Vita

(Lucio Dalla; Translated by Davitt Sigerson)

Twice in a lifetime if you're really really lucky
You may discover why you were brought here
Tutta la vita you try to find your destination
You search for the truth, you try to make communication
All of your life

Tutta la vita asking "Where is the party?"
It's not a mansion in Malibu or a facelift at forty
No you won't find it there
Love is everywhere
If you'll only dare to try

It's not on a map so we all have to muddle through
You can't get there in a car--not even your BMW
Twice in a lifetime you'll know the answer
Once when you find love
Once when you give love to another
Yes--you will find it there
Love is everywhere
If you'll only dare to fly
