Lyrics
"'Ho imparato a sognare, quando inizi a scoprire che ogni sogno
ti porta più in là cavalcando aquiloni, oltre muri e confini
ho imparato a sognare da là.' I versi della canzone dei Negrita ben si addicono alla storia della famiglia nome, mestiere che dalla piccola bottega di mestiere nel centro di città nata ai primi dell’Ottocento seppero andare alla conquista del mondo, pensando ed agendo in grande, sapendo sperimentare.."
It is part of a song by Negrita (Italian Rolling Stones fan band )
http://www.lyricsmania.com/lyrics/negrita_lyrics_238/xxx_lyr...
It is a quote which **starts** a piece of company image blurb about the founder (now deceased) of a pretty big International Group. A bit delicate and now urgent. HELP
This is what I have pencilled in so far:
“I learnt to dream, when I began to discover that every dream takes you further, over the clouds, beyond the confines of home. I learnt to dream from there.
