No roots

No roots
Alice Merton - 2017

[Intro]
I like digging holes and, hiding things inside them
When I grow old, I hope I won't forget to find them
Cause, I've got memories and travel like gypsies in the night

[Verse 1]
I build a home and wait for, someone to tear it down
Then pack it up in boxes, head for the next town running
Cause, I've got memories and travel like gypsies in the night

[Pre-Chorus]
And a thousand times I've seen this road
A thousand times

[Chorus]
I've got no roots
But my home, was never on the ground
I've got no roots
But my home, was never on the ground
I've got no roots
I've got no roots
I've got no roots
But my home, was never on the ground
I've got no roots
But my home, was never on the ground
I've got no roots
I've got no roots

[Verse 2]
I like standing still, but that's just a wishful plan
Ask me where I come from, I'll say a different land
But I've got memories and, travel like gypsies in the night

[Verse 3]
I count gates and numbers, then play the guessing game
It's just the place that changes, the rest is still the same
But I've got memories and, travel like gypsies in the night

[Pre-Chorus]
And a thousand times I've seen this road
A thousand times

[Chorus]
I've got no roots
But my home, was never on the ground
I've got no roots
But my home, was never on the ground
I've got no roots
I've got no roots
I've got no roots
But my home, was never on the ground
I've got no roots
But my home, was never on the ground
I've got no roots
I've got no roots

[Bridge]
I like digging holes, hiding things inside them
When I grow old, I won't forget to find them
I like digging holes, hiding things inside them
When I grow old, I won't forget to find them

[Outro]
I've got no roots!
No roots!

I've got no roots
But my home, was never on the ground
I've got no roots
But my home, was never on the ground
I've got no roots
I've got no roots
I've got no roots
But my home, was never on the ground
I've got no roots
But my home, was never on the ground
I've got no roots
I've got no roots

Mi piace scavare fossi e nasconderci dentro le cose quando sarò vecchia spero di non dimenticare di recuperarle perché ho i ricordi e viaggio di notte come gli zingari Costruisco una casa e aspetto che qualcuno la demolisca poi impacchetto tutto negli scatoloni e corro verso la prossima città perché ho i ricordi e viaggio di notte come gli zingari Non ho radici ma casa mia non è mai crollata Mi piacerebbe stare immobile ma è soltanto una pia illusione chiedimi di dove sono e ti risponderò ogni volta un posto diverso ma ho i ricordi e viaggio di notte come gli zingari Conto i cancelli e i numeri civici e poi gioco agli indovinelli è solo il posto che cambia, il resto è ancora lo stesso ma ho i ricordi e viaggio di notte come gli zingari e ho visto questa strada cento volte
