Francesco

When you count before sleeping
When you lose count
When you think it's still early
And a ray crosses you
When arguing helps to be
Helps to feel better
When a well-taken punch
Maybe serves more than advice
How right my father was
To tell me to calm down
Don't act like a rooster
How I understand my mother
Who waited awake
And couldn't fall asleep

Francesco, never forget
What respect is
And you'll be ahead
And don't think about competing with the world
The challenge is with yourself
Francesco, it's not
True that if you're scared
You're just a coward
And when you hit rock bottom, it's a sign that everything
Can only get better

When before leaving on a
Journey you already think about the return
When you believe that the further you go
The better everything will be
Too easy to ask for help from heaven
Only when you need it
And cursing angrily and disappointed knowing
Knowing you're wrong

Francesco, never forget
What respect is
And you'll be ahead
And don't think about competing with the world
The challenge is with yourself
Francesco, it's not
True that if you're scared
You're just a coward
And when you hit rock bottom
It's a sign that everything
Can only get better

Francesco, don't forget
That the richest are those who have a treasure inside
The rest only serves to complicate things
That will eventually disappear
Francesco, many will tell you that love matters
Up to a certain point
Never stop your heart if inside
You feel like you're burning
