Lyrics

VERSE 1:
In questo mondo digitale, dove tutto corre via
(In this digital world, where everything rushes by)
Some souls need more moments, to read what screens convey
Con disabilità diverse, they struggle with the pace
(With different abilities, they struggle with the pace)
Two point two point one declares – give everyone their space!

Turn off the rushing timer, adjust it if you must
Extend the precious seconds, this standard we can trust
Ten times the normal setting, or warnings clear and bright
For those who need more tempo, to make the web feel right!

CHORUS:
Aspetta! Aspetta! Il tempo è nostro amico!
(Wait! Wait! Time is our friend!)
Let every user choose their speed divino!
No more racing clocks that steal away our chance
Two point two point one – accessibility’s romance!

VERSE 2:
The mother with arthritis types slowly key by key
The student who is blind needs time for screen readers to speak free
Cognitive conditions make comprehension take its course
Without time adjustable, we lock them from the source!

Press the spacebar gently when twenty seconds warn
Extend your precious moments like the breaking of the dawn
Unless it’s an auction or twenty hours long
Every timer must bend to help the weak be strong!

CHORUS:
Aspetta! Aspetta! Il tempo è nostro amico!
(Wait! Wait! Time is our friend!)
Let every user choose their speed divino!
No more racing clocks that steal away our chance
Two point two point one – accessibility’s romance!

BRIDGE/OUTRO:****
From banking forms to shopping carts, from tests to reading news
Each person has their proprio tempo – their own time to choose
(Each person has their own tempo – their own time to choose)
So build with hearts wide open, let patience be your guide
Con two point two point one, no one gets left behind!
Viva la compassione! Let timing be adjustable!
(Long live compassion! Let timing be adjustable!)
