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.
