Buon compleanno
Renato Zero
Happy Birthday
And hope lights up
And behind it is you
Among horrors and miseries
You know how to shine
With your sixteen years
No excuses or deceptions
You are so unique
It's you
Don't change if you can
So tender and discreet
You stay alone
Talking to your diary
About your plans
About that blondie
Who hangs around you but
Has no courage
To tell you
About the desire
He has
You will never be sixteen again
Because of so many fears and then
Let your hair down and go
You already smell like a woman
Don't tremble
Blow out the candles
You have the breath
Happy birthday to you
I'm happy, I am too
I will watch you take flight
The sky is finally blue
And you, how much sky
Will you fly through!
Your doll resigns reluctantly
Under those rags
She hides a soul
Hold her close to you
Of course, you will miss
The nights with her
How much crying
She has done too!
You will never be sixteen again
Because of so many fears and then
Let your hair down and go
You already smell like a woman
Don't tremble
Blow out the candles
You have the breath!
Happy birthday to you
I'm happy, I am too
I will watch you take flight
The sky is finally blue
And you, how much sky
Will you still fly
