Uno su mille [English translation]

If you are on the ground, never crawl.

If they tell you: "you're finished"—do not believe it.

You can only count on yourself.

One in a thousand makes it—

but how hard the climb is—

life is at stake.

The past can

never return the same—

perhaps better, why not, what do you know?

You never believed in me

but you might change your mind.

Life is like the tide

that takes you into shore or out on the high seas

as the moon rises.

I never cheated nor bluffed

and this evening I laid my soul bare.

I lost everything but I found myself again.

One in a thousand makes it—

but how hard the climb is—

life is at stake.

You have no idea how heavy it is—

this pop music.

You fall in love and live but you can die by the time the evening comes.

I might have a voice—

but not to shout for help.

You never even heard me.

I kept my secret.

You are deaf and I was dumb.

If you are on the ground, never crawl.

If they tell you: "you're finished"—do not believe it.

Until the closing bell rings, keep going.

One in a thousand makes it—

but how hard the climb is—

life is at stake.

One in a thousand makes it—

but you will have to change your mind.

Life is like the tide.

One in a thousand makes it.
