Discover the story of the song > Il Sognatore – Peppino di Capri

The protagonist of the song has become a dreamer to feel less alone and to escape from the reality of his age. He sells dreams for a living and sings songs that he doesn't even know. He believes that with closed eyes, he can see the world and understand the depth of the sea. He carries the mark of a past pain on his face and he feels lost among the stars and cheap loves. Some people call him crazy, but he believes that dreaming is better than facing disappointment. He has become a dreamer, even though his destiny cannot be read in the cards. He knows that in a thousand years, people might see dreamers as creatures from the past who consumed emotions. But for now, he remains a dreamer. He leaves with a poetry on his lips and doesn't care what the future holds because he is just a dreamer.
