"Ciao Lulù" is a song by Italian singer Umberto Tozzi. The lyrics tell the story of a young girl named Lulù, who is abandoned in Shanghai. Despite her difficult circumstances, she brings joy to those around her. Lulù can only say "papà" (dad) in Italian, and her thoughts wander about who she may be thinking of. The lyrics mention destroyed forests, the sun of Saigon, and a nighttime shipwreck. Despite these heavy thoughts, Lulù remains carefree, laughing with her teddy bear. The song addresses Lulù as the mascot of sailors, symbolizing her innocence and vulnerability. The narrator, who may be her adoptive parent, expresses their love for her, regardless of the color of their eyes. They contemplate who may have waited for Lulù during her nine months of existence, perhaps referring to the war and those lost during that time. However, the narrator assures Lulù that they waited for her with love, and that is what matters the most. Lulù is depicted as a restless child who refuses to eat her food and frequently escapes. The narrator feels jealous of her affection towards a pillow, seeing her as growing up too quickly. They express their protectiveness towards Lulù, promising to defend her against those who laugh at her. As the song progresses, it is revealed that Lulù brings sunshine and love into the narrator's life. The lyrics mention a marriage and how love increases since they became a family of three. Finally, it is stated that despite Lulù's destructive tendencies, the house has become hers since she arrived. Overall, "Ciao Lulù" portrays the complex emotions and experiences of a young girl, her impact on the narrator's life, and the unconditional love and protection she receives.
