¿Cuántas personas especiales cambian?
¿Cuántas vidas viven de manera extraña?
¿Dónde estabas mientras nos elevábamos?
Caminando lentamente por el pasillo
Más rápido que una bala de cañón
¿Dónde estabas mientras nos elevábamos?
Algún día me encontrarás
Atrapado bajo el deslizamiento de tierra
En una supernova de champán en el cielo
Algún día me encontrarás
Atrapado bajo un deslizamiento de tierra
En una supernova de champán, una supernova de champán en el cielo
Despierta el amanecer y pregúntale por qué
Un soñador sueña que nunca muere
Limpia esa lágrima ahora de tu ojo
Caminando lentamente por el pasillo
Más rápido que una bala de cañón
¿Dónde estabas mientras nos elevábamos?
Algún día me encontrarás
Atrapado bajo el deslizamiento de tierra
En una supernova de champán en el cielo
Algún día me encontrarás
Atrapado bajo el deslizamiento de tierra
En una supernova de champán, una supernova de champán
Porque la gente cree que se escapará este verano
Pero tú y yo, vivimos y morimos
El mundo sigue girando, no sabemos por qué, por qué, por qué

Quanti speciali persone cambiano?
Quante vite vivono strane?
Dove eri mentre noi stavamo prendendo il volo?
Camminando lentamente lungo il corridoio
Più veloce di una bomba a cannone
Dove eri mentre noi stavamo prendendo il volo?
Un giorno troverai me
Intrappolato sotto un'onda di scivolata
In una supernova di champagne nel cielo
Un giorno troverai me
Intrappolato sotto un'onda di scivolata
In una supernova di champagne
Una supernova di champagne nel cielo
Sveglia l'alba e chiedile perché
Un sognatore sogna che non muore mai
Asciuga quella lacrima adesso dagli occhi
Camminando lentamente lungo il corridoio
Più veloce di una bomba a cannone
Dove eri mentre noi stavamo prendendo il volo?
Un giorno troverai me
Intrappolato sotto un'onda di scivolata
In una supernova di champagne nel cielo
Un giorno troverai me
Intrappolato sotto un'onda di scivolata
In una supernova di champagne
Una supernova di champagne
Perché le persone credono
Che riusciranno a scappare per l'estate
Ma tu e io, viviamo e moriamo
Il mondo gira ancora, non sappiamo perché
Perché, perché, perché, perché?
Quanti speciali persone cambiano?
Quante vite vivono strane?

Quantas pessoas especiais mudam?
Quantas vidas estão vivendo estranhas?
Onde você estava enquanto estávamos ficando altos?
Caminhando devagar pelo corredor
Mais rápido que uma bala de canhão
Onde você estava enquanto estávamos ficando altos?
Um dia você me encontrará
Preso sob o deslizamento de terra
Em uma supernova de champanhe no céu
Um dia você me encontrará
Preso sob o deslizamento de terra
Em uma supernova de champanhe
Uma supernova de champanhe no céu
Acorde a aurora e pergunte a ela por quê
Um sonhador sonha que ela nunca morre
Limpe aquela lágrima agora dos seus olhos
Caminhando devagar pelo corredor
Mais rápido que uma bala de canhão
Onde você estava enquanto estávamos ficando altos?
Um dia você me encontrará
Preso sob o deslizamento de terra
Em uma supernova de champanhe no céu
Um dia você me encontrará
Preso sob o deslizamento de terra
Em uma supernova de champanhe
Uma supernova de champanhe
Porque as pessoas acreditam
Que eles vão se livrar para o verão
Mas você e eu, vivemos e morremos
O mundo ainda gira em torno, não sabemos por quê
Por que, por que, por que, por que?
Quantas pessoas especiais mudam?

From the album
(What's the Story) Morning Glory?
Oasis · 1995 · Track 12
The story behind
"Champagne Supernova" is the twelfth single by Oasis, an English rock band, and serves as the closing track of their second album, (What's the Story) Morning Glory?. The track was composed by Noel Gallagher and recorded in May 1995, with a running time of 7 minutes and 27 seconds in its album version and 5 minutes and 8 seconds in the radio edit. The performance featured Noel and the rest of the band, including his younger brother, vocalist Liam Gallagher. Production was handled by Owen Morris and Noel Gallagher himself, and the label that distributed the single in Australia and New Zealand was Helter Skelter. The single release was limited to Australia, France and the United States, although the music video circulated on channels around the world, generating a wide presence for the song on both television and radio. The video received particularly massive exposure on MTV globally. The music video was directed by Nigel Dick. The B-side of the single is "Slide Away". The physical formats released included a single CD with reference 663344 4, a cassette with the same reference, a promotional CD for the United Kingdom (RKIDS35CPD), a 12" promotional vinyl (RKID35TP) and a 7" promotional vinyl distributed by the German edition of Rolling Stone. The origin of the title has a particular story: Noel misheard the name of The Pixies' album Bossanova while watching a documentary about champagne, and from that confusion the name of the song was born. As for the lyrics, Noel acknowledged in a 2005 interview that he still does not know for certain what the song is about, although he believes it has something to do with reincarnation. The composition belongs to the britpop and psychedelic rock genres, and its words do not correspond to a concrete meaning, but were chosen for their sound and the way the singer pronounces them. The phrase "Caught beneath the landslide" came to Noel when he walked into the kitchen of his girlfriend's house and saw a vase by Alessi Gianni. That sugar bowl can be seen in the CD booklet, where the song lyrics also appear. In the music video, Liam appears wearing purple-tinted glasses and a beard, which is interpreted as a tribute to John Lennon. The song is considered one of the favourites among the band's followers. An anecdote linked to the genesis of the song involves guitarist Paul Arthurs, nicknamed "Bonehead". In an interview with the BBC, Noel humorously remarked that Arthurs cried during the recording because he found the song "very beautiful". This account was confirmed by Ian Robertson in his book Oasis: What's The Story?, where he recounts that the first time Noel played "Champagne Supernova" for the rest of the band — in an acoustic version, aboard a bus — Bonehead did indeed burst into tears. Noel's immediate reaction was to wonder: "Is the song really that bad?" The recording of the track also featured Paul Weller, leader of The Jam and a friend of the band, who played lead guitar. The song was later included on the compilation album Stop the Clocks.
