Sempre Sarai Lyrics in English Moreno , Fiorella Mannoia

Home / Lyrics Translation / Moreno / Sempre Sarai

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Sempre Sarai by Moreno from Italian to English.

This old courtyard that

Has a faded gate

A writing on the wall

That reminds me of something

A road that leads

To my old school

A motorbike that drives by

Like a thought in a rush

If you were still here with me

I'd show you

That the lesson of love

You taught me

I learned it well

I think back to your story

And in my memory

Memories resurface

And leave lumps in my throat

If it comforts you, stay here, the smells don't change

The flavors

At most the stores, the owners

And for a bunch of reasons

I didn't understand your examples

The frequent problems there were back in your day

Pain is a lesson I learned through love

Lucky whoever enjoys it, whoever's heart has its keeper

You'll always be

In the upper right pocket

In a tired step, inside a high jump

That gives me chills

Forever you'll be

In an unexpected smile

Or in a meeting with my destiny

I keep a photo of you in the right jacket pocket

I'd have gone crazy if I'd ever lost it

Even if it's just an image in a piece of clothing

I sense I'll have you and I feel more protected

I keep what you told me, all your advice

And I speak after thinking, I'll tell my kids

Not to look for a hold and never give up

But I won't manage to say how much love you'll feel for them and

You'll always be

In the upper right pocket

In a tired step, inside a high jump

That gives me chills

Forever you'll be

In an unexpected smile

Or in a meeting with my destiny

I, who so often get lost

Look for one of your gestures

Unexpected, innate

Reflexive, unconditional

Something you can neither see nor hear

I can't perceive it and it'll protect me forever but

Certain decisions I can't make

Since you can't come down and I can't choose

To be with you the way I picture

But it was magical

My state of mind

You made me grow in an instant

Take care to keep shining

You'll always be

In the upper right pocket

In a tired step, inside a high jump

That gives me chills

Forever you'll be

In an unexpected smile

Or in a meeting with my destiny

SONG MEANING

Sempre Sarai is a heartfelt trip back to the old neighborhood, where every faded gate, school road, and graffiti-covered wall is bursting with memories of someone deeply loved. Moreno raps out his nostalgia like quick flashes from a passing motorbike, while Fiorella Mannoia’s warm voice folds those memories into a gentle embrace. The song tells the story of a guiding presence—perhaps a parent, grandparent, or mentor—who is no longer physically there but still lives in the right-hand pocket of his jacket, in every unexpected smile, and in each brave leap forward that sends shivers down the spine.

It is a lesson in love learned through loss. Moreno treasures a worn photograph, the advice that shaped him, and the bittersweet realization that pain can become a teacher. The chorus promises that this special person will always be in life’s smallest details and its biggest challenges, shining like a quiet guardian of the heart. “Sempre Sarai” invites us to feel that mixture of gratitude, sorrow, and hope—reminding us that those we love never truly leave; they simply change address and keep living inside our memories, ready to cheer us on at every step.
