L'isola che non c'è

| NEVER NEVER LAND | Neverland |
| Second star to the right points the way Then it’s straight on ‘till the break of day The road begins wherever you may stand And it leads you to never never land | Second star to the right, This is the path And then straight on til morning, Then you find the road yourself, It leads to Neverland.* |
| And it seems just a little bit strange There’s no logic to convince you or explain But reason slips right through your hands For there can’t be a never never land | Maybe this will seem strange to you, But rationality Got you carried away And now you're almost convinced that Neverland cannot exist. |
| And all the grownups call it fantasy An island in the sky can never be Only dreamers would ever raise their sails And set a course towards a fairy tale | And thinking about it, what madness, It's a fairytale, it's only fantasy And he who is wise, who is mature knows it: It cannot exist in reality!.... |
| And we all agree Such a land cannot be With no liars, deceivers, or thieves Where there’s no need for war No saints or heroes to adore It really is a never never land, Never land | I agree with you, A land doesn't exist Where there are neither saints nor heroes. And if there are not thieves, If there is never war, Maybe it's just the island That's not there... that's not there. |
| It’s not a play on words, or an invention It’s not a great misapprehension For you need only to believe Just nd the road and follow where it leads | And it's not an invention And not even a play on words, If you believe it, it's enough because Then you find the road yourself. |
| Yes I agree with you It sounds too good to be true No cops, no robbers, no law And there’s no need to run Living under the gun Maybe that is never never land, Never land | I agree with you, No thieves and police, But what kind of island is it?^ No hate and violence Neither soldiers nor weapons, Maybe it's just the island That's not there... that's not there. |
| Second star to the right points the way Then it’s straight on ‘till the break of day You can’t go wrong, for now you understand That this is your never never land | Second star to the right, This is the path And then straight on til morning, You can't miss it because That is Neverland. |
| Let them tease, let them taunt Let them say what they want But don’t give up. Just keep pushing through They who’ve gone off the track And laugh behind your back Just might be crazier than you | And they tease you If you continue to look for it, But don't you give up because He who has already given up And laughs at you behind your back, Is perhaps even crazier than you. |
