Paolo Meneguzzi – Era Stupendo

Switzerland 2008 Eurovision Song

C’è una parte di me
che tacere non sa
quando guardo l’odio che c’è
il dolore, la povertà
mi rivedo bambino io
che correvo nel blu

Era stupendo volare via, sfidare il tempo, la fantasia
la tua mano e la mia, nella stessa poesia ,
era stupendo

Ma una notte vedrai
dal destino uscirò, lo giuro
se la vita ci aspetterà
torneremo laggiù

Sarà stupendo volare via,sfidare ancora il tempo,la fantasia
e poi la tua mano e la mia, nella stessa poesia
era stupendo, era stupendo

perchè non c’è pace finchè
tutti pensano a sè
era stupendo volare via, sfidare il tempo,la fantasia
la tua mano e la mia, nella stessa poesia.
era stupendo, era stupendo

English Translation

There’s a part of me
That can’t keep quiet
When I look at the hatred which is here
Pain, poverty

I see myself again as a child
Running in the blue

It was wonderful to fly away
To challenge the wind, the fantasy
Your hand and mine
In the same poem
It was wonderful

But one night you’ll see
I’ll run away from destiny, I swear
If life will wait for us
We’ll return down there
It will be wonderful to fly away
To challenge again the fantasy
And then your hand and mine
In the same poem
It was wonderful
It was wonderful

Because there’s no peace
Until everyone will think of themselves

It was wonderful to fly away
To challenge the wind, the fantasy
Your hand and mine
In the same poem
It was wonderful
It was wonderful

  1. Paolo’s voice is soooo great! This song is my favourite song and I’ve wished to pass to the final show but it didn’t 🙁 I was so angry and sad that it didn’t pass, that I went into my room snobbing. Dima Bilan’s song was good but Paolo’s song was MUCH BETTER! GOOD LUCK PAOLO AND KEEP IT UP! <3 XX

  2. when I was in Belgrade’s Arena 2008 i hoped for this song to WINN, i have sad that to some Swiss fans there, but unfortunately, and I still do not understan way, this song didn’t pass into final show…I was 1000000% shore for this song to winn…
    superb song, moder and yet has that olldfashoned (italian) good “smell” …
    good luck Paolo, and good luck to You all who love this song … by by from Serbia!!! Eurovision-people wellcome back to Serbia…

  3. Elmira, your words are pretty much the exact same thoughts I have! Paolo’s voice and his music move me so deeply and there is something unique about that person. I have all his cd’s both italian and spanish and I love every song. This man is simply beautiful, inside out!

  4. I think paolo meneguzzi is the best singer.his voice is a creation of love ..is a vast vision of nature … combination between immortal things..his voice tells you dosent matter what your language is ,and its a connection. (congratulations paolo)

  5. what’s the matter with Dima Bilan?
    I think that ‘Believe’ is a beautiful song, but it doesn’t fit into ESC.

  6. i’m russian, from Moscow.
    ‘Era stupendo” is a really beautiful song.
    And I hate Dima Bilan, the winner.
    And I know him myself.
    Bad song, bad boy.
    Thnx belesar! well done!

  7. oh… i’m so angry! This is a beautiful song! It’s one of my favourites! Anyway I think that Armenia, Ukraina or BOSNIA & HERZEGOWINA will win! Go B&H!!!

  8. i’m so angry…this is a beautiful song! it’s one of my favourites! anyway…i think it will win armenia or ukrajina!

  9. This is beautiful song! But i like more Eurobandia-It’s my life …i want for them to win!
    This is an balade, i don’t think this is gonna win, but it’s great! Really, it is…

  10. HOW THE **** CAN THIS NOT GO TO THE FINAL???? I’m so upset over that. HOW?!?!?!?! I can’t understand it. Why didn’t it get more votes, not even the juries seem to have liked it. Maybe the plagiarism theory has come to far out in Europe…..:@
    This is one of my favourites this year and still it did not make it through….

  11. Song 7
    What’s there not to love about a typical Italian song and this guy?
    And the audience also loves him of course 😛

  12. Translation

    There’s a part of me
    That can’t keep quiet
    I see there’s rancour
    Pain, poverty

    I see myself again as a child
    Who ran on blue

    It was wonderful to fly away
    To challenge the wind, the fantasy
    Your hand and mine
    In the same poem
    It was wonderful

    But some night you’ll see
    I’ll run away from destiny, I swear
    If life will wait for us
    We’ll return down there
    It will be wonderful to fly away
    To challenge again the fantasy
    And then your hand and mine
    In the same poem
    It was wonderful
    It was wonderful

    Because there’s no peace
    As long as everyone thinks of himself

    It was wonderful to fly away
    To challenge the wind, the fantasy
    Your hand and mine
    In the same poem
    It was wonderful
    It was wonderful
