Il risultato finale - Il Disco d'Oro

Strofa 1

Eighty candles waking up the room,

Silver ribbons, roses in bloom,

Children laughing, grandkids in a line,

Waiting for the cake to shine.

From the breakfast kettle to the evening light,

You’ve made every ordinary moment bright,

Singing in the kitchen, wooden spoon in hand,

Turning pots and pans into a band.

Ritornello

Oh Emily, sing it loud tonight,

Eighty years and your heart’s still light,

Raise your glass, let the music play,

Emily, dance the night away!

Strofa 2

One small beat and you’re first on the floor,

Shoes tapping out by the dining-room door,

No one needs to ask you twice,

You’ve got the sparkle, you’ve got the spice.

The grandchildren cheer as you take your turn,

Every step makes the candles burn,

And all the stories around this place

Start with a tune and your smiling face.

Ritornello

Oh Emily, sing it loud tonight,

Eighty years and your heart’s still light,

Raise your glass, let the music play,

Emily, dance the night away!

Bridge

Here’s to the songs you gave us all,

To Sunday roasts and birthday calls,

To every chorus, every grin,

To the love you gathered in.

If the years are pearls upon a string,

Yours are bright enough to sing.

Finale

Oh Emily, sing it loud tonight,

Eighty years and your heart’s still light,

Raise your glass, let the music play,

Emily, dance the night away!

Oh Emily, sing it loud tonight,

Eighty years and your heart’s still light,

Raise your glass, let the music play,

Emily, dance the night away!
