His 2001's debut album, Rosso Relativo was characterized by a R&B/hip-hop flavor (although there was some controversy when the Italian satirical TV show Le Iene pointed out the similarity between his first hit single "Perdono" and a previous song by R.Kelly called "Did You Ever Think"). The Spanish version of this album was called Rojo Relativo and fared very well throughout Spanish-speaking parts of the world. In late 2003, Ferro released his second album, 111 Centoundici. It affirmed his place as one of Italy's top pop stars. In 2006 his third studio album Nessuno è solo was released and debuted at number one in Italy and Argentina. It debuted at #10 in Chile, and #11 in Spain. The album was certified triple platinum. Tiziano released his new CD, titled Alla Mia Età in 2008.

Tiziano Ferro Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Un instante de paz
Habrìa pedido solamente todavia escuchar
Un hilo de su voz
Que dice
" Me ne vado piano piano piano…"
Aprieta ahora mi mano
Me voy y no te llevo conmigo
Habrìa pedido sòlo
Perder el sentido
... ...
Habrìa estado sola
Mirando las estrellas
O Dios la habrìa dejado vivir siempre en compañia
Solo de almas bellas
Caer cansada exhausta entre los brazos de
Los angeles atentos
Que con dulzura la toman
Y desatentos tienden las manos
... ...
Y yo que aùn escucho
Y yo que aùn me pierdo
En el suave caminar y en tu cariño regalado
Envuelto en el silencio
Y siento debil el candor eterno
Celoso en la mano
Y 13 años pasan
La vida dura nada
The lyrics to Tiziano Ferro's "13 años" speak to the idea of longing for a moment of peace and the desire to hear a loved one's voice again after they have passed away. The singer in the song asks for just a moment of peace, and the chance to hear the voice of someone they love again, even if it's just a single thread of their voice. They ask for nothing more than to lose themselves in the moment, and forget everything else.
The lyrics continue to speak of being alone, and staring at the stars. The singer wonders if God has left them to live alone forever, or if they will have the joy of living with kindred souls in the afterlife. They speak of being tired and worn out, and the idea of finding rest in the arms of caring and attentive angels.
Throughout the song, there is a sense of sadness and longing for something that cannot be regained. The singer talks of the "eternal candor" that they want to hold onto, but feel slipping away. The passing of time is also emphasized in the lyrics, with the song closing with the statement "Y 13 años pasan, La vida dura nada" ("And 13 years pass, Life lasts nothing").

I would have been alone, staring at the stars or perhaps God would have let me live always in the company of only beautiful souls. Falling tired and exhausted into the arms of attentive angels who take me gently, and with distraction, they stretch out their hands.
Y yo que aùn escucho
Y yo que aùn me pierdo
En el suave caminar y en tu cariño regalado
Envuelto en el silencio
Y siento debil el candor eterno
Celoso en la mano
Y 13 años pasan
La vida dura nada
And I, who still listens and who still gets lost in your gentle walk and your given affection that's wrapped in silence. And I feel weak, eternal candor, jealous in hand. And 13 years pass, life lasts only an instant.
