Song Meaning

The lyrics paint a vibrant picture of children, seen as pure and unburdened. They are described as living "in libertà" (in freedom), their laughter and curiosity embodying "poesia" (poetry) and fueled by "fantasia" (imagination). This initial glimpse focuses on their innate joy and uninhibited spirit, setting a tone of hopeful observation. The central idea revolves around these children representing the future, the "tempo che verrà" (the time to come). The narrator wishes for them to grow "liberi" (free) and to embody "speranza" (hope) and "la nuova umanità" (the new humanity). There's a clear desire for them to be the embodiment of joy and life itself, dancing "lungo la via" (along the way). The recurring phrase "Siano il battito del tempo che verrà" (May they be the heartbeat of the time to come) acts as a powerful refrain, emphasizing the profound significance placed on this next generation. The lyrics suggest that through their freedom and inherent happiness, they hold the key to a renewed and more positive vision of humanity, a "nuova idea di umanità."
