Senza Paura
Ornella Vanoni
Without Fear
But how do you do it when you're a child
To gather courage and faith in destiny
If dad punishes you by putting you in the dark
Then at night in bed: Quiet, there's the wolf
Quiet, there's the wolf, quiet, there's the wolf
And mom says: I'll call the bogeyman
I'll call the boogeyman, he'll eat you whole
In the dark night, he gives you the shot
He gives you the shot, he gives you the shot
But you go through the dark without fear
Then suddenly you reach the age
To love madly the man who's not right
There's no way out, neither here nor there
Your father will shout, your mother will pray
Your mother will pray, your mother will pray
Then the lover throws himself off the building
Because what's easy becomes complicated
Since life is tough, life is tough
Life is tough
But you go through love without fear
There's danger and it's part of the game
Don't pay attention or you'll live little
Always stay strong, start over
Start over, start over
Even on the street, you're risking
You're absent-minded, you're brooding
The garbage truck passes by
And the driver speeds up
Speeds up, speeds up
But go your way without fear
And one beautiful day of any week
And one beautiful day of any week
There's a knock on the door, a knock on the door
It's a telegram, she's calling you
It's a telegram, she's calling you
For one it comes soon, for the other late
Anyway, sooner or later, calm and sure
It comes without warning, it comes and captures you
It comes and captures you, it comes and captures you
But you go through death without fear
Darkness
Love
On your way
To death
