Vent'anni [English translation]

My life began

like grass, like a flower

and my mother kissed me

as if I were her first love

my life began like this

just like how a poem begins

I believe that up there

there was a smile

for me too

the same light

that comes on

when a king is born

A star, a guitar

my first love was blonde

with the pride of (reaching) twenty years old

I cried but I said goodbye

and I went away towards my destiny

with the enthusiasm of a child

I believe that up there

there was a smile for me too

the same light

that comes on when a king is born

but I'm here if you want me,

love of my twenty years old

I believe that up there

someone had already written

all my love for you and everything yet to be
