Voglio vivere la vita e mai essere crudele
E voglio vivere la vita e trattarti bene
E voglio volare e mai tornare indietro
E vivere la mia vita e avere amici intorno
Non cambiamo mai, vero?
No, no
Non impariamo mai, vero?
Così voglio vivere in una casa di legno
Voglio vivere la vita e sempre essere sincero
E voglio vivere la vita e trattarti bene
Voglio volare e mai tornare indietro
E vivere la mia vita e avere amici intorno
Non cambiamo mai, vero?
No, no
Non impariamo mai, vero?
Così voglio vivere in una casa di legno
Dove fare nuovi amici sarebbe facile
Oh, e non ho un'anima da salvare
Sì, e pecco ogni singolo giorno
Non cambiamo mai, vero?
Non impariamo mai, vero?
Così voglio vivere in una casa di legno
Dove fare nuovi amici sarebbe facile
Voglio vivere dove il sole esce fuori

Quero viver a vida e nunca ser cruel
E quero viver a vida e ser bom contigo
E quero voar e nunca mais descer
E viver a vida e ter amigos ao redor
Nós nunca mudamos, não é?
Não, não
Nós nunca aprendemos, não é?
Então quero viver em uma casa de madeira
Quero viver a vida e sempre ser verdadeiro
E quero viver a vida e ser bom contigo
Quero voar e nunca mais descer
E viver a vida e ter amigos ao redor
Nós nunca mudamos, não é?
Não, não
Nós nunca aprendemos, não é?
Então quero viver em uma casa de madeira
Onde fazer mais amigos seria fácil
Oh, e eu não tenho alma para salvar
Sim, e eu peco todos os dias
Nós nunca mudamos, não é?
Nós nunca aprendemos, não é?
Então quero viver em uma casa de madeira
Onde fazer mais amigos seria fácil
Quero viver onde o sol brilha

The story behind
Coldplay recorded We Never Change during a period that extended from November 1999 to May 2000. The song is part of the album Parachutes, their first studio work. The recording process was a bit chaotic, because at first they weren't very in sync. Ken Nelson produced most of the songs, except High Speed, which was done by Chris Allison.The song We Never Change was recorded in studios in London and Liverpool, and mixed in New York. It was released as a single in 2000, along with three other songs. The song has a soft sound, with a guitar base and a calm rhythm. It is one of the most well-known tracks from the album, which was a success in the UK and the US.
