Follow it and you'll still be happy
Prendi una matita prendi una matita
Take a pencil, take a pencil
E disegna un lago azzurro
And draw a blue lake
Buttaci i pensieri, tutti i dispiaceri
Throw in your thoughts, all your sorrows
E sorridi al mondo intero
And smile at the whole world
Sopra a un verde prato
On a green meadow
Traccia il viso amato
Trace the beloved face
Dagli tanti baci, baci, baci, baci
Give it many kisses, kisses, kisses, kisses
Prendi una matita tutta colorata
Take a colored pencil
E disegna cieli blu
And draw blue skies
Ye ye ye ye ye-ye-ye ye ye ye-ye-ye
Ye ye ye ye ye-ye-ye ye ye ye-ye-ye

dispiaceri — sorrows / troubles
Dispiaceri translates to "sorrows" or "troubles." It's a more evocative and less common word than simply saying "problems" or "sadness."
In the song, Mina encourages the listener to "Buttaci i pensieri, tutti i dispiaceri" (Throw in your thoughts, all your sorrows) into a blue lake, suggesting a way to release burdens and find peace. This poetic imagery makes the word particularly interesting and memorable.
