OGGI E' UN GIORNO SPECIALE - TODAY IS A SPECIAL DAY

English translation - Lyrics and music by C. Ferla 2014

Today is a special day, today is your day,
in which all you have given for a year, today will return back.
Happy birthday, it is today your birthday,
in which not only the gifts, but also the good wishes are given to you.

In your life not everyone you will like,
but you know how to obtain others one love.
Just your smile and your intelligence
to make the people better in your world.

I hope every year will bring you a lot of new friends,
which will stay with you in the good times.
And in the bad times they will be your cure and potion,
They and the ones you love are the bigger invention.

Don’t set yourself any limits, don’t let anybody stop you,
Don’t allow anybody else to judge
what you will be and what you will believe in,
because only in this way, everything in your life you will do.

One day you will choose a dream from your drawer,
where you stored them all since you were a little child.
One day you will discover that everything in life is possible,
also composing poetries and your songs play and sing.

Today is a special day, today is your day
In which all you have given for a year, today will return back.
Happy birthday, it is today your birthday
in which not only the gifts, but also the good wishes are given to you.

One day you will find a young girl,
With who you will give life to a crazy idea.
With her you will see the world with different eyes,
and one day you will wake up father surrounded by verses.

Day after day the verses will become words,
spread around the house by a sun shape face.
You will see him growing and you will be proud,
beautiful, pretty and with a curious look.

One day, leaving him at school
Running away he will greet you with a last word.
His “ciao”, the most beautiful present of each day,
Which in a father’s life create a jewel.

It’s been this way for me,
It will be the same also for you.
And one day he will ask you a gift only for him
And you’ll donate him what you feel inside yourself

Today is a special day, today is your day
In which all you have given for a year, today will return back
Happy birthday, it is today your birthday
In which not only the gifts, but also the good wishes are given to you.

This is my birthday’s gift for you.
Tell you what you have been and you are for me,
And greet you a long life in which you could have
the best that today exists and in the tomorrow we can only glimpse
