Theme Song from "Highlander" 1986

WHO WANTS TO LIVE FOREVER

Queen

There's no time for us                      Non c’è tempo per noi

There's no place for us                    Non c’è posto per noi

What is this thing that                      Cos’è questa cosa che 

builds our dreams, yet                     costruisce i nostri sogni,   

slips away from us?                         eppure ci scivola via?

Who wants to live forever?              Chi vuole vivere per sempre?

Who wants to live forever?              Chi vuole vivere per sempre?

Oh, oh.                                             Oh oh

  

There's no chance for us                 Non c’è nessuna possibilità per noi 

It's all decided for us                        E’ tutto deciso per noi        

This world has only one                   Questo mondo ha solo un 

sweet moment set aside for us        momento dolce riservato a noi

Who wants to live forever?               Chi vuole vivere per sempre?

Who wants to live forever?               Chi vuole vivere per sempre?

Oh, oh.                                              Oh oh

Who dares to love forever                 Chi osa amare per sempre

Oh, oh, when love must die              Oh oh quando l’amore è destinato a morire?

But touch my tears, with your lips      Ma tocca le mie lacrime con le tue labbra,

Touch my world, with your fingertips. tocca il mio mondo con la punta delle tue dita

And we can have forever                   e possiamo avere l’eternità

And we can love forever                    e possiamo amare per sempre

Forever is our today                          L’eternità è il nostro presente

Who wants to live forever?                Chi vuol vivere per sempre

Who wants to live forever?                Chi vuol vivere per sempre?

Forever is our today                           L’eternità è il nostro presente
