"Il tempo se ne va" is a song by Italian singer Adriano Celentano from his 1980 album Un po' artista un po' no. As the rest of the album, it was composed by Toto Cutugno (music) and Cristiano Minellono (lyrics). The song is said to be dedicated to Celentano's daughter Rosita.
The song spent three weeks at number two in Switzerland, prevented from rising higher by Lipps, Inc.'s "Funkytown".
The song has been considered "one of the most beautiful songs that deal with the theme of parenthood".
