It is for you that the trees are green
the bows in motherhood are pink
it is for you that the sun burns in July
this whole city is for you
it is for you that the walls are white
is the dove flies
it's for you December 13th
the school bell is for you,
there is everything for you ninna na ninna e
(For you, Jovanotti)

You will have smiles on your face like crickets and stars in August
Stories photographed in a leather-bound album
Thunder of supersonic aircraft that make you look up
And the darkness at dawn that turns into silver at the window.
You will have a phone nearby which already means waiting
Foam of crazy breakers chasing each other in the sea
And white pants to pull out that it's already summer
A train for America without stops.
You will have two sweeter tears to dry
A sun that kills itself and clam fishermen
And snow of mountains and rain of hills
You will have a stick of cremino to suck.
(Avrai by Claudio Baglioni)

When the children go "oh"
how wonderful, how wonderful!
but what a fool you see though, though
that I'm a little ashamed

because children have no hair
nor on the belly
nor on the tongue.
(When the kids go Oh, Povia)

at sunset the tide.

of what I am I would like to give to you

But there is only one thing that I would like to teach you
is about making your dreams grow and how to make them come true
but also that sometimes it just can't be avoided
if they become nightmares you have to know how to deal with them.
And if I succeed
one day you will be ready to fly
you will spread your wings to the wind
and you will rise into the sun
and when the time comes
I just hope to remember
it's time to step aside
and to let you go.
(My human cub, Eugenio Finardi)

phrases about children's smiles: music for them

I'm looking for a bit of you in De André's lyrics
There will be bruises to be proud of
Others less
But the truth, half the same
I am just a child
That you will call dad
Because I have NASA in my head
Because I'm never home
The heart worn out like old Vans
And all the slaps taken in the square
And the ink on the arms
Everything now fits together
Your mother, who kisses me
The first kiss, the first day at school, the first day on probation
The first love, the first mistake, the first sun that burns you
And it is the first time for me too, that I see you
First of all
(First of all, Fedez)

And I'll carry you far with the force of a missile
And I'll take you by the hand
I'll take you to play on a lawn
And I threw the phone away
And I threw away all it seems
Luckily you look like your mother
Luckily you are all your mother.
(All your mother, J-Ax)

It's not time to make a change
Just relax, take it easy
You're still young, that's your fault
There’s so much you have to know
Find a girl, settle down
If you want you can marry
Look at me, I am old, but I'm happy
I was once like you are now, and I know that it’s not easy
To be calm when you’ve found something going on
But take your time, think a lot
Why, think of everything you've got
For you will still be here tomorrow, but your dreams may not.
(Father and son, Cat Stevens)

But how I wish I had your eyes, wide open to the world like blotting papers
And your laughter clean and full, almost without remorse or regret,
But how I wish I still had to look at everything like the books to leaf through
And still have everything, or almost everything, to try.
(Culodritto, Francesco Guccini)
