I change soul, you change smile
From one month to the next without much notice
We've become
Definitely ours
I try to hide you from this pain
But I'm not God, I'm only your father
It even feels weird to say it
And it feels weird for you to see me cry
I, who's never understood anything
I didn't even dream of you because you were denied to people like me
Then a message arrived, it was my father
Who told me, 'The story goes on, the baton is yours'
Shine, great love
And let your life stay art
And light me up too, me, me
'Cause everything else is just a suitcase of memories and thoughts
Throw it in the sea, among all the other wars
'Cause this isn't love
It's, it's the revolution and I'm watching from here
My first Father's Day
I, who always see myself as hardly important
But you can still dream even grown up
Living for you
Won't really be that hard
I, who's never understood anything
I didn't even dream of you either, 'cause I denied myself a love like this
Like in that message from my father
That said, 'Time runs, stop it with them, then we'll see
And best wishes from dad to dad'
Shine, great love
And let your life stay art
And light me up too, me, me
'Cause everything else is just a suitcase of memories and thoughts
Throw it in the sea, among all the other wars
'Cause this isn't love
It's, it's the revolution and I'm watching from here
Who lived with dreams set aside
Who denies it, yet died on purpose
In this city of only three syllables
That shaped my words
As a kid I learned them all
And grown up I even invented them
My children, I was born in a world
That shattered that dream halfway
But you can't stop miracles
Like my first Father's Day
You shine, my life
'Cause everything else is dark
The world is lucky
To fall asleep next to you, to have you here
And so am I, because today will stay forever
My first Father's Day

SONG MEANING

La Prima Festa Del Papà feels like opening a heartfelt diary where Tiziano Ferro celebrates the miracle of becoming a dad for the very first time. In the song he speaks directly to his children, amazed by how their smiles change and how their presence turns ordinary life into living art. He admits his own limits – he is no superhero, “only your father” – yet the very act of holding the parental torch makes him feel part of a beautiful family relay that started with his own dad. Every memory, doubt and past battle is now just “a suitcase” he happily tosses into the sea, because parenthood eclipses anything that came before.

The track is both confession and anthem. Ferro reflects on years spent thinking fatherhood was impossible, then marvels at the text message from his dad that blessed this new chapter: “The story continues, the baton is yours.” That moment sparks what he calls la rivoluzione – the revolution of unconditional love. By the final chorus he urges his children to “shine” and promises to freeze time with them, turning their lives into lasting art. Tender, vulnerable and triumphant, the song is a reminder that sometimes the greatest revolutions begin with a baby’s smile and a first Father’s Day.
