"Il tempo se ne va" is a song by Italian singer Adriano Celentano from his 1980 album Un po' artista un po' no . It was composed by Toto Cutugno (music), Cristiano Minellono and Claudia Mori (lyrics). The song is dedicated to Celentano's daughter Rosita. [1] [2]

Contents

Background

The idea for the song came from Cristiano Minellono, who, with the collaboration of Celentano's wife Claudia Mori, crafted the lyrics on the basis of Celentano's relationship with his daughter Rosita, then 14 years old. [3] Celentano was so emotionally affected by the lyrics that for years he chose not to perform it. [3]

Celentano had initially planned to release the song only in Germany before deciding otherwise; he eventually recorded a German-language version of the song titled "Es bleibt die Zeit für keinen steh'n". [3]

Reception

The song spent three weeks at number two in Switzerland, prevented from rising higher by Lipps, Inc.'s "Funkytown". [4]

The song has been considered "one of the most beautiful songs that deal with the theme of parenthood". [5]
