A modo tuo [English translation]

It will be difficult to grow up

Before you grow up too

You will ask all of the questions

And I will pretend to know everything

It will be difficult

But that’s how it will have to be

I will put away my toys

And try to grow up

It will be difficult to ask your forgiveness

For a world that is as it is

I will try somethings in my small way

But it’s hard to change the world

It will be difficult

To say happy birthday to you

When every birthday

You pull a little further from me

In your own way

You’ll go in your own way

You’ll walk and you’ll fall, and you’ll rise

Always in your own way

In your own way

You will see in your own way

You will swing, you will jump, you will change

Always in your own way.

It will be difficult to see you from behind

On the path you will choose

All of the stop signs

All of the detours

And the queues that you’ll avoid

It will be difficult

As you quietly distance yourself

And search on your own

For who you will become

In your own way

You’ll go in your own way

You’ll walk and you’ll fall, and you’ll rise

Always in your own way

In your own way

You will see in your own way

You will swing, you will jump, you will change

Always in your own way.

It will be difficult

To give you up to the world

And keep a small piece for me

In the midst of your ring-around-the rosy

I cannot protect you

It will be difficult

But it will be far easier

While you’re spinning around

And still laughing

In your own way

You’ll go in your own way

You’ll walk and you’ll fall, and you’ll rise

Always in your own way

In your own way

You will see in your own way

You will swing, you will jump, you will change

Always in your own way.
