Dicevi sempre "Vattene via
Che non mi importa più di te"
Che te la scrivo a fare una poesia
Se brucerai le pagine
Leggeri come elefanti
In mezzo a dei cristalli
Zingari come diamanti
Tra gang latine
Morire, morire per te, eh
Non serve a nulla perché, eh
Lascerò il mare alle spalle
Cadendo su queste strade
Ti chiamavo, mi dicevi

Cercami nel barrio
Come se, come se fossimo al buio
Nella notte vedo te
Casa mia mi sembra bella
Dici "Non fa per te"
Però vieni nel quartiere
Per ballare con me

Tanto suona sempre il barrio
Tanto suona sempre il barrio
Tanto suona sempre

Guido veloce, cambio corsia
Ma non per arrivare a te
Se devo scalare la tua gelosia
Preferirei una piramide
Bevevo acqua con OKI
Soltanto per calmarmi
Giocavo coi videogiochi
Per non uscire
Morire, morire per te, eh
Non serve a nulla perché, eh
Lascerò il mare alle spalle
Cadendo su queste strade
Ti chiamavo, mi dicevi

Cercami nel barrio
Come se, come se fossimo al buio
Nella notte vedo te
Casa mia mi sembra bella
Dici "Non fa per te"
Però vieni nel quartiere
Per ballare con me

Tanto suona sempre il barrio
Tanto suona sempre il barrio
Tanto suona sempre

Sai che l'ultimo bacio è più facile
Poi cadiamo giù come Cartagine
Mai, non sparire mai come Iside
Mai, mai

Cercami nel barrio
Come se, come se fossimo al buio
Nella notte vedo te
Casa mia mi sembra bella
Dici "Non fa per te"
Però vieni nel quartiere
Per ballare con me

Tanto suona sempre il barrio
Tanto suona sempre il barrio
Tanto suona sempre il barrio

(Barrio)

Tanto suona sempre il barrio
