Yo, Baby K
Vestiti in fretta perché ho voglia di far festa
Sai non importa il trucco, la bellezza è in testa
Abbiamo visto il cielo piangerci addosso
Perciò balliamo ora che il sole è il nostro

Voglio una musica che mi ricorda l’Africa
All'improvviso tutto il mondo cambia pagina
Innamorarsi con la luna nel mare
Partire e tornare
Senza sapere quando
Andata senza ritorno
Ti seguirei fino in capo al mondo

All'ultimo secondo
Volerei da te, da Milano
Fino a Hong Kong
Passando per Londra, da Roma e fino a Bangkok
Cercando te

Stacca dal tuo lavoro almeno per un po’
La vita costa meno trasferiamoci a Bangkok
Dove la metropoli incontra i tropici
E tra le luci diventiamo quasi microscopici
Abbassa i finestrini voglio il vento in faccia
Alza il volume della traccia
Torneremo a casa solo quando il sole sorge
Questa vita ti sconvolge

Senza sapere quando
Andata senza ritorno
Ti seguirei fino in capo al mondo
All'ultimo secondo
Volerei da te, da Milano
Fino a Hong Kong
Passando per Londra, da Roma e fino a Bangkok
Cercando te

Anche i muri di questa città mi parlano di te
Le parole restano a metà
e più aumenta la distanza tra me e te
Giuro questa volta ti vengo a prendere
Senza sapere quando
Volerei da te, da Milano
Fino a Hong Kong
Passando per Londra, da Roma e fino a Bangkok
Cercando te
