I would like to push myself
up to the center
of your soul.
So, as a mother, I would engrave
my exclusive
love message for you.
I would score for eternity
who are and will be for me, my son,
my light, my only lucky star.
TU, FIGLIO, SEI LA MIA LUCE
Vorrei sospingermi
fino al centro
della tua anima .
Inciderei, così, come madre,
il mio esclusivo
messaggio d’amore per te.
Segnerei per l’eternità
che sei e sarai per me, figlio mio,
la mia luce, l’unica mia buona stella.
