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.

This song is a beautiful modern lullaby, or Ninnananna, from a father to his newborn child. Enrico Nigiotti sings directly to his "amore mio" [my love], telling them how their arrival has made his world complete. He looks at his sleeping baby and feels like "adesso ovunque guardo non mi manca niente" [now wherever I look, I'm not missing anything]. The song is filled with the promises a new parent makes: to protect, to support, and to cheer them on through life.

He doesn't just promise a perfect life, though. He gives some very real advice, telling his child, "Tu sbaglia mille volte come ho fatto anch'io / Perché sbagliare serve" [Make a thousand mistakes like I did / Because making mistakes is useful]. He knows he can't live their life for them, even if he wants to change the world to fit them better. In the end, he accepts, "questa è la tua storia, la tua verità" [this is your story, your truth]. It's a sweet and honest look at the overwhelming love a parent feels.
