Imparare ad essere una donna [English translation]

With bare hands, barefoot

Facing life on the field

And never from the stands

Without sparing yourself

Always moving forward no matter what

And nothing is ever certain

And when your past is more than the future

You know that you learned from others even the worst mistakes

For days, months, years

But I still get moved

For a far kiss, a memory picture

For the night that slowly becomes day

Every emotion goes through my breath

And I cry out of joy or for no reason

There are days when I'd want to disappear

And others when happiness is endless

Every emotion goes through my breath

And I laugh out of joy or for no reason

Convinced that in the end everything comes back

With the weight and the beauty of learning

To be a woman

And walking on the broken glasses

Of a thousand choices so wrong to burn the eyes

And despite the blows

Not caring about rights and wrongs

And I still get moved

Whenever I'm waiting for spring

When I meet the eyes of a true person

Every emotion goes through my breath

And I cry out of joy or for no reason

There are days when I'd want to disappear

And others when happiness is endless

Every emotion goes through my breath

And I laugh out of joy or for no reason

Convinced that in the end everything comes back

With the weight and the beauty of learning

To be a woman

Every emotion goes through my breath

And I laugh out of joy or for no reason

Convinced that in the end everything comes back

With the weight and the beauty of learning

To be a woman
