Buon anno, buona fortuna [English translation]

Midnight, the ending year

says goodbye to us, mournfully leaves.

The dawn rises, every heart hopes

that the new year will be a happy one.

Happy new year to those who, in life, are happy.

Happy new year to the self-confident youths.

Another spring has already faded,

Happy new year to those who are no longer twenty years old.

To those who are dreaming chasing a chimera.

To those who, in the heart, have no hope.

Life is beautiful and still tells you to hope.

Happy new year, good luck.

May the dawn shine divinely

with the smile of the golden sun.

May every rose be without thorns

and love reign in the heart.

Happy new year to those who, in life, are happy.

Happy new year to those who no longer have a home.

For every heart and lost soul,

tomorrow, a most beautiful sun will shine.

Happy new year to the children who have no one,

mother moon will kiss them from heaven.

We hold them close to the heart one by one,

happy new year, good luck.

Happy new year to the entire world, good luck!
