Quel vestito da dove è sbucato
Where did that dress come from?
Che impressione vederlo indossato
What an impression to see you wearing it
Se ti vede tua madre lo sai
If your mother sees you, you know
Questa sera finiamo nei guai
Tonight we'll end up in trouble
È strano ma sei proprio tu
It's strange but it's really you
Quattordici anni o un po' di più
Fourteen years or a bit more
La tua Barbie è da un po' che non l'hai
You haven't had your Barbie for a while
E il tuo passo è da donna oramai
And your walk is like a woman's now
Al telefono è sempre un segreto
On the phone it's always a secret
Quante cose in un filo di fiato
So many things in a whisper
E vorrei domandarti chi è
And I'd like to ask you who he is
Ma lo so che hai vergogna di me
But I know you're embarrassed by me
La porta chiusa male e tu
The door not quite closed and you
Lo specchio il trucco e il seno in su
The mirror, makeup, and breasts pushed up
E tra poco la sera uscirai
And soon you'll go out tonight
Quelle sere non dormirò mai
Those nights I'll never sleep
E intanto il tempo se ne va
And meanwhile time goes by
E non ti senti più bambina
And you don't feel like a child anymore
Si cresce in fretta alla tua età
You grow up fast at your age
Non me ne sono accorto prima
I didn't notice it before
E intanto il tempo se ne va
And meanwhile time goes by
Tra i sogni e le preoccupazioni
Between dreams and worries
Le calze a rete han preso già
Fishnet stockings have already taken
Il posto dei calzettoni
The place of knee-high socks
Farsi donna è più che normale
Becoming a woman is more than normal
Ma una figlia è una cosa speciale
But a daughter is a special thing
Il ragazzo magari ce l'hai
Maybe you have a boyfriend
Qualche volta hai già pianto per lui
Sometimes you've already cried for him
La gonna un po' più corta e poi
The skirt a bit shorter, and then
Malizia in certi gesti tuoi
Mischief in some of your gestures
E tra poco la sera uscirai
And soon you'll go out tonight
Quelle sere non dormirò mai
Those nights I'll never sleep
E intanto il tempo se ne va
And meanwhile time goes by
E non ti senti più bambina
And you don't feel like a child anymore
Si cresce in fretta alla tua età
You grow up fast at your age
Non me ne sono accorto prima
I didn't notice it before
E intanto il tempo se ne va
And meanwhile time goes by
Tra i sogni e le preoccupazioni
Between dreams and worries
Le calze a rete han preso già
Fishnet stockings have already taken
Il posto dei calzettoni
The place of knee-high socks

Did you like this lyrics translation?
calzettoni — knee-high socks
Calzettoni refers to knee-high socks, often associated with children's wear or sports. It's a specific and somewhat nostalgic word that stands out from everyday vocabulary.
In the song, it's used to highlight the transition from childhood to adolescence, as the lyrics mention "Le calze a rete han preso già il posto dei calzettoni" (Fishnet stockings have already taken the place of knee-high socks). This vividly illustrates the daughter growing up and embracing more adult fashion, making it a poignant and memorable detail.
