Verse 1
Lullaby, my love, you're always falling asleep
I'm not telling a lie
But now wherever I look, I'm not missing a thing
I think about it and words aren't enough
While you're smiling, the sky is even in this room
Welcome, my love, I'm here, I'm always here
Chorus 1
If I could give you everything, I'd take you higher
Where you can touch happiness
And day after day, I'd cheer for your every step
While you strive for the best that life has to offer
People look for the impossible, here everybody dreams of the clouds
But tell me where would I go without you?
Verse 2
Lullaby, my love, I'll always protect you
Make a thousand mistakes, just like I did too
Because making mistakes is necessary
I'd already like to recommend you three or four songs
To see if they give us the same emotions
Welcome, my love, I'm here too, I'm always here
Chorus 2
If I could give you everything, I'd take you higher
Where you can touch happiness
And day after day, I'd cheer for your every step
While you strive for the best that life has to offer
People look for the impossible, here everybody dreams of the clouds
But tell me where would I go without you?
Bridge
And it'll be, it'll be, it'll be, it'll be, it'll be whatever comes naturally
While you breathe in every new moment
While you walk through time
And it'll be, it'll be, it'll be, it'll be, it'll be like flying
'Cause there's nothing that's truly impossible to do
I wonder what you're thinking while you're laughing
Outro
If I could give you everything, I'd take you higher
Where you can touch happiness
I'd like to change the world for you, tailor it to fit you better
But this is your story, your truth
People look for the impossible, here everybody dreams of the clouds
But tell me where would I go without you?
Where would I go without you?

Ninnananna — Lullaby

The word "Ninnananna" translates to "lullaby" in English. It's a sweet and tender word that immediately sets the tone for this heartfelt song.

While it might seem simple, it's not an everyday word you'd find in every pop song. Its repetition throughout the lyrics emphasizes the song's theme of a parent's love and protection for their child, making it both memorable and central to the song's emotional core.

"Ninnananna" (Lullaby) is Enrico Nigiotti singing directly to his child, promising to always be there and to protect them no matter what.

He tells them mistakes are part of growing up ("you'll make a thousand mistakes, just like I did too") and that he only wants to see them chase happiness and dream big, even when the world calls it impossible. Whatever life brings, he says, it will come like flying: light, free, and full of possibility. It's a tender, unconditional promise wrapped in the gentle shape of a lullaby.
