"The last Thule", the last legendary island, the last adventure. Guccini declared in this title that this is the last album.

Bianca Atzei ft. Modà - La Gelosia

Foto: Un giorno che chiuderò a chiave e terrò gelosamente stretto dentro di me.
Ho incontrato alcuni di voi oggi e mi avete dato delle emozioni grandi. Mi avete fatto dei regali dolcissimi.
Davide mi hai fatto un regalo che per me ha un valore immenso,come vedi lo stringo vicino al cuore.Mi hai colpito,mi hai stupito,mi hai commosso.
Grazie a tutti per essere venuti a trovarmi,per avermi riempito di gioia. Per aver pensato a me.
Grazie perché son riuscita a guardarvi negli occhi.
Buonanotte di sorprese.

The song is direct, a message to a son and a sort of message to everybody that present a way to feel and search the Joy and the happyness written by Cristiano in his evocative and predicative style.
