Below, I translated the lyrics of the song I Grandi Non Piangono Mai (Acoustic) by Mr.Rain from Italian to English.

Grown-ups never cry

You gotta be stronger, how many times you've told me

The number of tears I get is never proportional to the number of tears I shed

You were there when I was down

I promise I won't do it anymore

I did a bunch of sh*t, luckily you were there

Between my drug issues and raising three little kids

Without asking for help and doing it alone

Mom, you taught me what respect is

I've met a thousand b*stards but I never lost that

You were the first to tell me to do it

The first to believe in me

Even before I did

Tell me what I gotta do, you said 'you can do it'

A star that lives on its own light keeps on shining

I don't forget the past

How could I deny my heart to the one who gave it to me

I'd learn to grow

You'll sleep scared of the dark

It'll be just you and me

Everything will be fine if you stay with me

It doesn't matter where in the world you'll be

I'll always be there, you know

Nobody will deserve your tears

Grown-ups, no, never cry

Do you really think I don't recognize you

For all the roles you've played you deserve an Oscar

And I kept wondering how many masks you had

You were my best enemy, my worst rival

You were my teacher, Santa Claus, the doorman who lets you in if you forget the key

The same one who taught me to mess up, she played every role in the world

Before being a mother

Hours turn into days, days turn into years

And you're already grown up

You can't buy time, nobody will get it back

I've been writing songs since I no longer have memory

I've realized that preserving my memories is my priority

Now that I travel the world I analyze my dream

Remember that under the tattoos I've got a heart too

I'll tell my son that grown-ups never cry

But at least, if not, after this song

I'd learn to grow

You'll sleep scared of the dark

It'll be just you and me

Everything will be fine if you stay with me

It doesn't matter where in the world you'll be

I'll always be there, you know

Nobody will deserve your tears

Grown-ups, no, never cry

SONG MEANING

In this stripped-back acoustic version of “I Grandi Non Piangono Mai”, Italian artist Mr.Rain turns a simple guitar line into a heartfelt letter to the most important woman in his life: his mother. The title — “Grown-ups never cry” — is a phrase he was told as a child, and here he gently flips it on its head, admitting that real strength is found in vulnerability. Through vivid memories and rapid-fire confessions, he thanks his mum for standing by him through drug problems, single-parent struggles and artistic uncertainty, all while playing every possible role — teacher, goalkeeper, Santa Claus — to keep the family safe.

At its core, the song is a celebration of unconditional love and resilience. Mr.Rain reminds us that even when we travel the world or hide behind tattoos, the people who shaped us still feel our every triumph and bruise. His promise is simple: “Non importa in che parte del mondo sarai, io ci sarò sempre” (“No matter where in the world you are, I will always be there”). It is a warm hug of a track that urges listeners to cherish their roots, believe in their dreams and remember that nobody deserves their tears — because the strongest hearts shine brightest when they dare to be soft.
