Il giorno giovane - Ornella Vanoni

C’era una volta un giorno giovane

Di quelli buffi come cuccioli

Ventiquattr’ore è stato intorno a me

Tirava fuori cose inutili

Ed insisteva a regalarmele

Erano storie ed erano poesie

Bastava dire sì ed erano mie

E c’erano sogni, attimi senza fiato

Quel solo bacio che non ho mai dato

E c’erano fuochi, giochi di carnevale

C’era un dolore, ma non faceva male

Ma quella volta il giorno giovane

Subito dopo l’ho dimenticato

Andavo dietro a grandi appuntamenti

Attese ed occasioni molto importanti

E … giorno per giorno

Manca una stella, un bacio, una poesia

Ma se tornasse quel giorno

Pure saprei non farlo andare via

Degli amici m’han detto

Che l’hanno visto intorno a casa mia

Se lo incontro quel giorno

Ora saprei non farlo andare via

E sto aspettando un giorno giovane

Arriverà quel giorno giovane

Sento che arriva un giorno giovane

Once upon a time there was a young day

Those funny as puppies

Twenty-four hours has been around me

She brought out useless things

And he insisted on giving them to me

They were stories and they were poems

It was enough to say yes and they were mine

And there were dreams, breathless moments

That one kiss I never gave

And there were fires, carnival games

There was a pain, but it didn't hurt

But that time the young day

Immediately after I forgot it

I was chasing big dates

Very important expectations and occasions

And… day by day

Missing a star, a kiss, a poem

But if he came back that day

Yet I would know not to make it go away

Friends told me

Who saw it around my house

If I meet him that day

Now I would know not to make it go away

And I'm waiting for a young day

That young day will come

I feel a young day coming
