Muslim Magomayev's spouse Tamara Sinyavskaya agreed to the translation, for which I am very grateful to her. After that, I wrote the lyrics myself in Italian. Together with Emin, we recorded this song, which I am very proud of and grateful that I have such a colleague as Emin. I am honored that my star appeared on the Sea Breeze Walk of Fame. Thanks to Emin for such a nice gift and for friendship! ", said Alessandro Safina.
