Io mio padre lo conosco poco
I don't know my father well
Non so neanche che lavoro fa
I don't even know what job he does
Torna a casa tardi e dice che
He comes home late and says that
Ancora pochi anni e finirà
Just a few more years and it'll end
Mangia in fretta e poi
He eats quickly and then
Tutti alla TV, questo è un grande film che non finirà
Everyone to the TV, this is a great film that won't end
Si addormenta e noi seduti lì
He falls asleep and we're sitting there
Lo vorremmo sveglio ancora un po'
We'd want him awake a bit longer
Portami con te, nei tuoi sogni, nel tuo lavoro
Take me with you, in your dreams, in your work
E non te ne andare mai
And don't ever leave
Io lo conosco poco, è così timido
I don't know him well, he's so shy
Quando mi parla lo fa con gli occhi giù
When he talks to me, he does it with his eyes down
Com'è difficile, dirgli che l'amo e
How difficult it is to tell him I love him and
Ho bisogno un po' di te
I need you a little
Io mio padre l'ho baciato poco
I haven't kissed my father much
Non gli ho chiesto mai che cosa c'è
I've never asked him what's wrong
Ha sorriso poco e non ha pianto
He's smiled little and hasn't cried
Invecchiando con serenità
Growing old with serenity
Tutti I sogni suoi, ora sono I miei
All his dreams are now mine
E quel suo lavoro che diventa il mio
And that work of his that becomes mine
E quel grande film non finisce
And that great film doesn't end
Non te ne andare, non te ne andare
Don't leave, don't leave
Io lo conosco poco, è così timido
I don't know him well, he's so shy
Quando mi parla lo fa con gli occhi in giù
When he talks to me, he does it with his eyes down
Com'è difficile dirgli che l'amo e
How difficult it is to tell him I love him and
Ho bisogno un po' di te, uh
I need you a little, uh
Non te ne andare mai
Don't ever leave

serenità — serenity
Serenità translates to "serenity" or "peacefulness". It's a beautiful and somewhat less common word in everyday Italian, especially in pop music lyrics.
In the context of the song, the narrator describes his father as someone who "ha sorriso poco e non ha pianto / Invecchiando con serenità" (smiled little and didn't cry / Growing old with serenity). This word offers a poignant insight into the father's character, suggesting a quiet strength and acceptance of life, making it a memorable and emotionally resonant choice.
