Il cane di stoffa [English translation]

The stuffed dog

that I gave you

is not just any gift.

This stuffed dog

is unlike any other

because he reminds you of me.

And when you kiss him,

and when you hug him,

imagine yourself hugging me.

To the stuffed dog,

I whispered something

that must remain a secret.

But when I go

and am far away,

he will whisper to you “my love, my love.”

Lilli is the name

of the stuffed dog,

a really endearing name.

I know

that when he speaks to you,

he will make you blush.

He will tell you

the most beautiful secret in the world,

because he will whisper to you “my love, my love, my love.”
