Lyrics: You, little one, with two teeth to smile You will see how much sky there is up there How much sea is still blue How much sand in the Sahara And poverty you will see, lullaby (lullaby) How many times you will be alone And detergents will be your mother How many times in love with life you will be And one evening, from the bridge, you too will look down Little one, clinging to the pinky finger You, little one, who will one day be gone You, little one, sleep together with your toy Which then, when you are a man And embrace a woman You will spend whole nights Breathing softly not to wake her (not to wake her) And in the veil of memories You confuse what you live and what you dream You will run paths of poplars Where you escape, where you go Maybe you sleep in the future and you will command Little one, with two teeth to smile You, little one, who will one day be gone The song "Tu Piccolo" by Umberto Tozzi tells the story of a young child who will grow up and face various challenges and experiences in life. In the first verse, the lyrics mention how the child will see the vastness of the world, including the sky, the sea, and the Sahara desert. It also alludes to the presence of poverty and loneliness. As the child grows older, the lyrics describe how they will eventually become an adult, forming relationships and sharing their life with a partner. There is a mention of spending nights together and being careful not to disturb the person they are with. The song also touches on the confusion between reality and dreams as the child grows up. Memories and experiences may blend together, and the lyrics suggest running away to escape or find solace. Ultimately, the song recognizes that the child will one day leave, implying that they will embark on their own journey into adulthood. The emphasis on the child's smile, represented by their two teeth, highlights the innocence and hopefulness of youth.
