Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Metti Le Ali by Renato Zero from Italian to English.
Metti le ali bambino mio
Put my baby wings
Alla tua innocenza
To your innocence
Cogli il fiore, se no muore
Take the flower, if not die
Prima che sia violenza!
Before it's violence!
Metti le ali bambino mio!
Put my baby wings on!
Vola e non sognare
Fly and don't dream
I batteri, la diossina
Bacteria, dioxin
L'energia nucleare!
Nuclear energy!
E ti faranno felice
And they're going to make you happy
Col plasmon e la tivù
With plasmon and tivù
Se chiederai un futuro pure tu!
If you ask for a future too!
La stella tua ti ama, non ti lascerà!!!
Your star loves you, he won't leave you!!!
Metti le ali bambino mio
Put my baby wings
Fra una bugia ed il male
Between a lie and evil
Fra gli sconfitti desideri
Among the defeated desires
Dell'ultimo natale!
Last Christmas!
Riprenditi le storie
Pick up the stories
Di malandati eroi
Of run-down heroes
Vivi sulla tua nuvola se puoi
Live on your cloud if you can
(gira il mondo troppo in fretta
(travel the world too fast
Forse non mi vedrà)
Maybe he won't see me...)
Sei tu la sola speranza che gli resterà!!!
You're the only hope he'il have left!!!
Metti le ali bambino mio
Put my baby wings
Vola e non pensare
Fly and don't think
Finché ancora sarà un cuore
As long as it's still a heart
Finché sarà l'amore
As long as it is love
