Ninna Nà

Gen Rosso's song "Ninna Nà" is a tender lullaby that speaks to the innocence and potential of a child's life. The lyrics are filled with a sense of wonder and anticipation, as the singer reflects on the many things they wish to share with the child. The opening lines express a desire to communicate the vastness of the world to the child, who is just beginning to explore it. The imagery of the child sucking their thumb and pointing with their tiny finger highlights their innocence and the simplicity of their current understanding of the world.

The song continues with a series of stories and images that the child will encounter as they grow. References to tales of wisdom and power, like those from the time of King Arthur, and modern-day stories of foxes, puppets, and TV magicians, paint a picture of a world full of both wonder and deception. The mention of hidden wolves behind false smiles serves as a gentle warning about the complexities and potential dangers the child will face. The lyrics also touch on the themes of technology and heroism, with mentions of rockets, galaxies, and video game wars, suggesting the vast array of experiences and knowledge awaiting the child.

In the final verses, the song takes on a more personal and hopeful tone. The singer encourages the child to sleep and dream, assuring them that the future is waiting for them with open arms. There is a deep sense of optimism and belief in the child's potential to create a wonderful future. The repeated refrain of "Ninna nanna" (lullaby) serves as a soothing anchor throughout the song, reinforcing the comforting and nurturing message. The closing lines reflect a mutual learning process, where the singer acknowledges that they too will learn from the child as they grow, highlighting the reciprocal nature of love and growth in a parent-child relationship.
