Sarà difficile diventar grande

It'll be hard to grow up

Prima che lo diventi anche tu

Before you do too

Tu che farai tutte quelle domande

You who'll ask all those questions

Io fingerò di saperne di più

I'll pretend to know more

Sarà difficile

It'll be hard

Ma sarà come deve essere

But it'll be as it has to be

Metterò via I giochi

I'll put away the toys

Proverò a crescere

I'll try to grow up

Sarà difficile chiederti scusa

It'll be hard to apologize to you

Per un mondo che è quel che è

For a world that is what it is

Io nel mio piccolo tento qualcosa

I, in my small way, try something

Ma cambiarlo è difficile

But changing it is hard

Sarà difficile

It'll be hard

Dire tanti auguri a te

To say "happy birthday" to you

A ogni compleanno

With every birthday

Vai un po' più via da me

You go a little further from me

A modo tuo

In your own way

Andrai

You'll go

A modo tuo

In your own way

Camminerai e cadrai, ti alzerai

You'll walk and fall, you'll get up

Sempre a modo tuo

Always in your own way

Sarà difficile vederti da dietro

It'll be hard to see you from behind

Sulla strada che imboccherai

On the road you'll take

Tutti I semafori

All the traffic lights

Tutti I divieti

All the prohibitions

E le code che eviterai

And the queues you'll avoid

Sarà difficile

It'll be hard

Mentre piano ti allontanerai

As you slowly move away

A cercar da sola

To search alone

Quella che sarai

Who you'll be

A modo tuo

In your own way

Andrai

You'll go

A modo tuo

In your own way

Camminerai e cadrai, ti alzerai

You'll walk and fall, you'll get up

Sempre a modo tuo

Always in your own way

A modo tuo

In your own way

Vedrai

You'll see

A modo tuo

In your own way

Dondolerai, salterai, cambierai

You'll sway, you'll jump, you'll change

Sempre a modo tuo

Always in your own way

Sarà difficile

It'll be hard

Lasciarti al mondo

To leave you to the world

E tenere un pezzetto per me

And keep a little piece for me

E nel bel mezzo del

And in the middle of your

Tuo girotondo

Merry-go-round

Non poterti proteggere

Not being able to protect you

Sarà difficile

It'll be hard

Ma sarà fin troppo semplice

But it'll be all too simple

Mentre tu ti giri

As you turn around

E continui a ridere

And keep on laughing

A modo tuo

In your own way

Andrai

You'll go

A modo tuo

In your own way

Camminerai e cadrai, ti alzerai

You'll walk and fall, you'll get up

Sempre a modo tuo

Always in your own way

A modo tuo

In your own way

Vedrai

You'll see

A modo tuo

In your own way

Dondolerai, salterai, cambierai

You'll sway, you'll jump, you'll change

Sempre a modo tuo

Always in your own way

Did you like this lyrics translation?

girotondo — ring-around-the-rosy / merry-go-round

Girotondo literally means "ring-around-the-rosy" or "merry-go-round." It evokes a childlike image of playfulness and innocence.

In the song, Ligabue uses it metaphorically to describe the child's world and journey of growing up. He sings, "E nel bel mezzo del tuo girotondo / Non poterti proteggere" (And in the middle of your merry-go-round / Not being able to protect you), highlighting the bittersweet feeling of watching a child navigate life independently. It's a poignant and evocative word that captures the essence of parental love and letting go.
