"Ayrton" - Ayrton The Magic!

If a person has no more dreams, no longer has any reason to live. Dreaming is necessary, even if in the dream goes glimpsed reality. For me it is one of the principles of life.

Rich people cannot live on an island surrounded by an ocean of poverty. We all breathe the same air. You have to give everyone a chance.

You'll never know how it feels when a driver wins. That helmet hides incomprehensible feelings.

I'm a privileged, I have always had a very good life. But all I got from the life I gained with the commitment and the strong desire to achieve my goals, to win in life, not as a pilot. So let me tell you that whoever you are in life, whether you are at the lowest level, or higher, you have to have a great strength and great determination and have to face anything with great love and faith in God and one day will reach the your goals and you will succeed.

The most important thing is to be yourself, not to let anyone hinder you, without being different because someone wants you to be different. You have to be yourself. Many times you make mistakes because of your personality, character or interference that you can find along the way. But you can just learn from your mistakes. And this is the main thing: use your errors to learn. I believe in the ability to deeply concentrate on it in order to make progress and even more.

You can never change the world alone. But you can do your part to change a bit of it. What I really do for poverty I'll never say to anyone. F1 is a miserable thing compared to this tragedy.

You think you have a limit, so you try to touch this limit. Something happens and you can immediately run a bit faster. Thanks to the power of your mind, your determination, your instinct, and the experience you can fly very high.

Ayrton Senna da Silva

Running, competing, it's in my blood, it's a part of me, it's a part of my life; I always use to do this and it comes before all the rest.

Ayrton Senna da Silva

Whoever you are in life, whether you are at the lowest level, or higher, you must have great strength and great determination and have to face anything with great love and faith in God and one day you will reach your goals and you will succeed.

Ayrton Senna da Silva

I have no idols. I admire hard work, dedication and competence.

"Ayrton" - Lucio Dalla and Paolo Montevecchi

"Il mio nome è Ayrton, e faccio il pilota ..."
Paolo Montevecchi

Lucio Dalla, a musician; Paolo Montevecchi, an artist. Two people who maybe not have much in common, except the fact to have written (Paolo) and interpreted (Lucio) a song dedicated to Ayrton Senna.

The May 1, 1994, Paolo is at home with friends, and the television broadcasts images about the accident followed by an interview of the champion Ayrton, where he talks about his faith in God. Paolo is shocked: he returns home, almost without greeting his friends, takes his guitar, and the song we all know comes to life; the piece is ready in less than ten minutes, and it's called "the Circus".

Months pass, Paolo concludes the song arrangement, and in September 1994, he brings a tape recording to the study of Lucio Dalla, who reads the text written on the back of the box and decides to record the single in the album "Canzoni", changing the title of the piece in "Ayrton".

Very interesting is the interview of Paolo Montevecchi released on April 8, for the preparation of “Formula Passion”, in which is faithfully reported the story of the song written by him; you can find it here.

Below, the original text of the song with a video:
