Sapore di sale Sapore di mare Che hai sulla pelle Che hai sulle labbra Quando esci dall'acqua E ti vieni a sdraiare Vicino a me Vicino a me Sapore di sale Sapore di mare Un gusto un po' amaro Di cose perdute Di cose lasciate Lontano da noi Dove il mondo è diverso Diverso da qui Qui il tempo è dei giorni Che passano pigri E lasciano in bocca Il gusto del sale Ti butti nell'acqua E mi lasci a guardarti E rimango da solo Nella sabbia e nel sole Poi torni vicino E ti lasci cadere Così nella sabbia E nelle mie braccia E mentre ti bacio Sapore di sale Sapore di mare Sapore di te Qui il tempo è dei giorni Che passano pigri E lasciano in bocca Il gusto del sale Ti butti nell'acqua E mi lasci a guardarti E rimango da solo Nella sabbia e nel sole Poi torni vicino E ti lasci cadere Così nella sabbia E nelle mie braccia E mentre ti bacio Sapore di sale Sapore di mare Sapore di te
