Potessi diventare un uccellino!
Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Our translations:  FRE
Potessi diventare un uccellino!
Avessi l' ale e potessi volare! --
Vorrei volare in mezzo al bel giardino
Dove sta lo mio amore a lavorare.
E gli vorrei volare intorno intorno,
E ci vorrei restar la notte e il giorno.
