Benvenuto [English translation]

To you who lost the way but you are still walking where your feet will bring you

And you know it, you know that you are free

In your wet shoes.

To someone who scolds only because didn't know how to sort things out,

Who asks and then forgets about it,

To someone who doesn't have a secret to whisper it,

But who has a lie to get rid of it,

To someone who doesn't ask for forgiveness

But who'll have it.

Welcome to the suffering which astonishes,

On the sky which promises the snow.

Welcome who laughs, who challenges,

Who replaces the advises with yours.

Welcome to the train which is going to the sea

And which arrives in time for Christmas,

Welcome to an artist, to his passion,

Welcome to someone who will never change,

To one our year.

To this moon which approves and sends dreams

Or hides them by possibility,

To someone who slips,

To someone who is making up in the car,

And welcome to this long winter,

If someone helps us to grow up,

To someone who has courage

And to someone who doesn't have it yet.

Welcome to the suffering which astonishes,

On the sky which promises the snow.

Welcome to someone who takes off clothes by work or by wish,

Who prays stars for help or compassion.

Welcome to the doubt of a bridegroom and a bride

In a minute full of surprises,

Welcome to a musician, to his song and his accords which become mine

In our year.

To the rest what will come (stop, stop, stop)

To all the rest,

To all what will come (stop, stop, stop),

To all this,

To all the rest, who knows (stop, stop, stop), to all the rest

And then...

Stop!

To one our year

Welcome to the suffering which astonishes,

On the sky which promises the snow.

Welcome who laughs, who challenges,

Who replaces the advises with yours.

Welcome to the train which is going to the sea

And which arrives in time for Christmas,

Welcome to an artist, to his passion,

Welcome to someone who will never change,

To one our year,

To the year which is for us,

For everything and for us,

One our year.
