<strong>the translation of the lyrics into English:<\/strong><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>On a bookshelf with his little dog Sam,<br \/>\nLives a little bear who likes to dream,<br \/>\nHis name is Bilbo and he wants to be a pilot,<br \/>\nWith crumbs of biscuits in his heart.<\/p>\n<p>Every morning he looks at the city,<br \/>\nWishing it's finally Christmas,<br \/>\nAnd in whispers he begins to write,<br \/>\nImpossible letters that make you smile:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDear Three Kings, this year I asked for<br \/>\nvery nice things, remember me\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Bilbo dreams big, he wants to take off,<br \/>\nA little timid, but very daring,<br \/>\nWith his little dog Sam he will always fly,<br \/>\nPiloting the sky is his happiness.<\/p>\n<p>Bilbo, Bilbo, little captain,<br \/>\nWith fluff and a titan's mind,<br \/>\nAmong clouds of sugar and an engine of dreams,<br \/>\nHe conquers the world from his balcony.<\/p>\n<p>His blue blanket keeps him warm as he sleeps,<br \/>\nMaking sniffles and ghosts run away,<br \/>\nAnd so, wrapped among seven stars,<br \/>\nThis little bear dreams beautiful things.<\/p>\n<p>Flying over seas of duvets,<br \/>\nIslands of pillows, cardboard skies,<br \/>\nBilbo waves with sweet emotion,<br \/>\nFrom his cabin of imagination. <\/p>\n<p>And even if the world says \"that's not real,\"<br \/>\nHe remains steadfast, no one will make him doubt,<br \/>\nBecause dreams don't weigh you down when you fly,<br \/>\nAnd in his small body there is immensity.<\/p>\n<p>Bilbo dreams big, he wants to take off,<br \/>\nA little timid, but very daring,<br \/>\nWith his little dog Sam he'll always fly,<br \/>\nPiloting the sky is his happiness.<\/p>\n<p>Bilbo, Bilbo, little captain,<br \/>\nWith a fuzzy heart and the mind of a titan,<br \/>\nAmong clouds of sugar and an engine of dreams,<br \/>\nHe conquers the world from his balcony.<\/p>\n<p>And when night comes to envelop him,<br \/>\nBilbo smiles before he dreams,<br \/>\nWith new letters ready to send\u2026<br \/>\nAnd a thousand adventures to pilot.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Little Bilbo is an old acquaintance for those of
