Il Tempo Se Ne Va

Time goes by

Where did that dress come from
What an impression
Seeing it worn
If your mother sees you, you know
Tonight we'll be in trouble
It's strange but it's really you
14 years old or a little more
Your Barbie doll
You haven't played with her in a while
And your walk
Is that of a woman now

On the phone it's always a secret
So many things in a breath
And I would like to ask you who it is
But I know you're ashamed of me
The door closed poorly and you
The mirror, the makeup
And your chest up
And soon you'll go out in the evening
Those nights I won't sleep

And meanwhile time goes by
And you don't feel like a child anymore
You grow up quickly at your age
I didn't notice it before
And meanwhile time goes by
Between dreams and worries
Fishnet stockings have already
Taken the place of long socks

Becoming women is more than normal
But a daughter
Is something special
Maybe you have a boyfriend
Sometimes you've already
Cried for him
The skirt a bit short and then
Malice in some of your gestures
And soon you'll go out in the evening
Those nights I won't sleep

And meanwhile time goes by
And you don't feel like a child anymore
You grow up quickly at your age
I didn't notice it before
And meanwhile time goes by
Between dreams and worries
Fishnet stockings have already
Taken the place of long socks
