I'M 45
(Gennaro Carrillo)

Today, today I’m forty five,
today, today I’m forty five,
(I’m) too old to succeed,
but I’m too young to die.

When I was five I liked to sing at school,
when I was five I liked to sing at school,
I used to stomp my feet
my teacher said “You’re fool!”

1981 two things changed my life,
1981 two things changed my life,
I had my first harp,
then  I met my wife .

Every good moment comes in  troubled times,
every good moment comes in  troubled times,
in this way it’s better,
you’re more glad when it arrives.

1996 another bit of joy,
1996 another bit of joy,
my daughter  was born,
I felt (again) like a boy.

Today, today I’m forty five,
today, today I’m forty five,
(I’m) too old to succeed,
I’m still so strong to survive.
