"Cervo a primavera" ('Deer in the spring') is a 1980 Italian song by Riccardo Cocciante (music) and Mogol (lyrics) and performed by Riccardo Cocciante.
The leading single of the 1980 eponymous album Cervo a primavera, the song marked the beginning of the long professional association of Cocciante, who was coming off a long collaboration with Marco Luberti, and Mogol, who had just interrupted a successful partnership with Lucio Battisti.[1] The lyrics are a hymn to the springtime meant as a season of rebirth and change and represent a sort of manifesto of the two authors' artistic status at the time.[1] The song has been described as "a full-fledged kraut-pop [...], a hymn to reincarnation in the secular sense of the term".[2] It has often been used as opening song during Cocciante's tours.[1]
Cocciante recorded the song in Spanish as "Yo Renacerè".[1] Artists who covered the song include Marco Borsato and José Luis Rodríguez.[1][3]
