Senza paura [English translation]

How do you do, when you're a kid

To have courage and faith in destiny

If dad locks you in the dark as punishment

Then at bedtime: "Quiet or the wolf comes

Quiet or the wolf comes, quiet or the wolf comes"

Then mom says: "I'll call the boogeyman

I'll call the Babau, he's gonna eat you whole

In the dark night, he's going to sting you

He's going to sting you, he's going to sting you

But you go through dark, without fear

But you go through dark, without fear

But you go through dark, without fear

Then all of a sudden you come to an age

When you're madly in love with the wrong man

There's no escape, not here nor there

Your father will yell, your mother will pray

Your mother will pray, your mother will pray

Then the lover jumps off a building

Because what is easy then becomes hard

Because life is hard, life is hard

Life is hard

But you go through love, without fear

But you go through love, without fear

But you go through love, without fear

Danger exists, it's part of the game

Don't bother about it, or you won't live long

Keep strong, start again

Start again, start again

Even on the road you're in danger

You're distracted, lost in thought

The garbage truck is coming

And the driver increases the pace

Increases the pace, increases the pace

But you go through your road, without fear

But you go through your road, without fear

But you go through your road, without fear

Then a nice day of any week

Then a nice day of any week

Someone knocks at the door, someone knocks at the door

It's a telegram, she's calling for you

It's a telegram, she's calling for you

For someone it comes soon, for others late

But sooner or later, calm and confident

She comes without notice, she comes and takes you

She comes and takes you, she comes and takes you

But you go through death, without fear

But you go through dark, without fear

But you go through love, without fear

But you go through your road, without fear

But you go through death, without fear
