Eurovision 2017 Austria:
Nathan Trent - "Running On Air"
Running On Air
It's been a long time running
'Cause I had some things to see
I had to meet some people
Who were there to believe in me
I'm taking all that struggle
Reminds me what I'm fighting for
I'm living it up, I ain't gonna stop
Till I make that final score
And I'll keep running as fast as I can
I'll keep running
I won't stop, I won't stop, no no
Hey now, if you push me down I'll get up again
Hey now, if you let me drown I'll swim like a champion
I'm sure there'll be good times, there'll be bad times
But I don't care 'cause I'm running on air
(Running, running) Yeah
Give me a million reasons
But my answer stays the same
You can try to put me in a box
But I'm doing it my own damn way
See I can stand them talkers
All pretending that their lives' a mess
'Cause whatever you want, whatever you need
You gotta get off your…
And I'll keep running as fast as I can
I'll keep running
I won't stop, I won't stop
Hey now, if you push me down I'll get up again
Hey now, if you let me drown I'll swim like a champion
I'm sure there'll be good times, there'll be bad times
But I don't care 'cause I'm running on air
Hey, I'm running on air
Running, running on air
(Oh whoa… oh whoa…) Running, running
Now I don't care
Hey now, if you push me down I'll get up again
Hey now, hey now
Yeah… (Oh whoa… oh whoa…)
You can push me, push me down
(Oh whoa… oh whoa…) Hey now
But I'll get up again
I'm sure there'll be good times, there'll be bad times
But I don't care 'cauѕe I'm running on аir
Trčim po zraku
Dugo sam trčao
Jer sam morao vidjeti neke stvari
Morao sam upoznati neke ljude
Koji su bili tu da vjeruju u mene
Podnosim svu tu borbu
Podsjeća me za šta se borim
Živim to s punim plućima, neću stati
Dok ne postignem taj konačni rezultat
I ja ću nastaviti trčati najbrže što mogu
Nastavit ću trčati
Neću stati, neću stati, ne ne
Hej sada, ako me gurneš dolje, ustat ću ponovo
Hej sada, ako me pustiš da se udavim, plivat ću kao šampion
Siguran sam da će biti dobrih vremena, bit će loših vremena
Ali me nije briga jer trčim po zraku
(Trčim, trčim) Da
Daj mi milion razloga
Ali moj odgovor ostaje isti
Možeš pokušati da me staviš u kutiju
Ali ja to radim na svoj prokleti način
Vidiš, mogu podnijeti te brbljavce
Svi se pretvaraju da im je život haos
Jer šta god želiš, Šta god ti treba
Moraš dići svoju…
I ja ću nastaviti trčati najbrže što mogu
Nastavit ću trčati
Neću stati, neću stati
Hej sada, ako me gurneš dolje, ustat ću ponovo
Hej sada, ako me pustiš da se udavim, plivat ću kao šampion
Siguran sam da će biti dobrih vremena, bit će loših vremena
Ali me nije briga jer trčim po zraku
Hej, trčim po zraku
Trčim, trčim po zraku
(Oh whoa… oh whoa…) Trčim, trčim
Sad me nije briga
Hej sada, ako me gurneš dolje, ustat ću ponovo
Hej sada, hej sada
Da… (Oh whoa… oh whoa…)
Možeš da me gurneš, da me gurneš dolje
(Oh whoa… oh whoa…) Hej sada
Ali ustat ću ponovo
Siguran ѕam da će biti dobrih vremena, bit će loših vremena
Ali me nije briga jer trčim po zrаku
Fino A Che Volerò
È già da un po' che corro
Per veder cosa c'è aldilà
Ho incontrato gente
Che condivide la mia realtà
Per ogni mio percorso
Un incrocio ci sarà
Ma la meta ce l'ho, la strada la so
Nulla che mi fermerà
E sto correndo
Più svelto che mai
Sto correndo
Un passo dopo l'altro
Ehi now, se mi butti giù mi rialzerò
Ehi now, se mi lasci ad annegare nuoterò
Lo so, ci son tempi belli e brutti
Ma correrò fino a che volerò
Non esiste niente
Che mi fermi dal avvio
Puoi cercar di categorizzarmi
Lo faccio come dico io
Ci son dei chiacchieroni
Non ascoltarli mai
Chiunque tu sia, qualunque la scia
Testa sulle spalle e via
Sto correndo
Più svelto che mai
Sto correndo
Un passo dopo l'altro
Ehi now, se mi butti giù mi rialzerò
Ehi now, se mi lasci ad annegare nuoterò
Lo so ci son tempi belli e brutti
Ma correrò fino a che volerò
Hey, fino a che volerò
E nell'aria sarò
Corro, corro
E salirò
Ehi now, se mi butti giù mi rialzerò
Ehi now, ehi now
Lo mi rialzeró
Ehi now, nell'aria saliró
Lo so ci ѕon tempi belli e brutti
Ma correrò fino а che volerò
