A modo tuo [English translation]

It'll be difficult to grow up

before you grow up too

you will ask all those questions

I will pretend to know more

It'll be difficult

but it'll be as it should be

I'll set aside games

try growing up

It'll be difficult to apologize

for a world that is what it is

in my own small way I'll try

but changing things is difficult

It'll be difficult to

wish you so many happy birthdays

when with each one

you go a little farther away from me.

Your way

you'll go your way

you'll walk and fall, you'll get up

always your way

Your way

you'll see your way

you'll sway, jump, and sing

always your way

It'll be difficult to see you go 1

on the roads you'll take

all of the traffic lights

all of the bans

all of the lanes you'll avoid

It'll be difficult

while slowly you'll go farther away

to search alone for

what you'll be

Your way

you'll go your way

you'll walk and fall, you'll get up

always your way

Your way

you'll see your way

you'll sway, jump, and sing

always your way

It'll be difficult

to leave you to the world

and keep a small part of you all to myself

and in the middle

of your dance 2

be unable to protect you

It'll be difficult

but it'll be way too easy

while you turn

and continue to laugh

Your way

you'll go your way

you'll walk and fall, you'll get up

always your way

Your way

you'll see your way

you'll sway, jump, and sing

always your way

1. “Sarà difficile vederti da dietro” means “it will be difficult to look at you from behind”. She is looking forward towards her daughter future.2. "Girotondo " is actually a game similar to "Ring Around the Rosie," I translated "dance" to keep it short, but provide an image.
