Una piccola parte di te [English translation]

When children grow up, you no longer hold them in your arms,

But you become a hostage, for their future,

And that wall that was never there rises

Marking the border between the present and the past

When children grow up they no longer heed you

They're always right, they go too quickly

They can only say "good night" or "good morning"

And you realize that it's better if you get rid of yourself,

And so you think back on your parents

Your intolerance of their worries,

But eagles or sandcastles are enough,

The world was out there,

You in a cage

And everything returns, but the roles change

The school, the scooter, the friends, the loves

Children are made of all colors

You go out of your mind

But then you forgive them

When children grow up there's a direct collision

Between their demands and your sea of affection

Those who believe that they're greater, those who feel older

But then you see yourself in the mirror

And that child in front of your eyes is you

And you yell at yourself

For everything returns but the roles change

The school, the scooter, the friends, the loves

Children grow up, they cut you out

But in everything that they do

You know that there's always a little part of you

And even if they then leave

You know that there's always a little part of you
