Quando Non Sai Lyrics in English by Cesare Cremonini
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Quando Non Sai by Cesare Cremonini from Italian to English.
Quando non sai trovare in te né verità, né conclusione
When you can't find in yourself neither truth, nor conclusion
Tu non ti abbattere, rimani in te
Don't get down, stay true to yourself
Prendi un foglio e scrivi una canzone
Take a sheet of paper and write a song
E se non sai più ridere né di te, né del dolore
And if you can't laugh anymore neither at yourself, nor at the pain
Tu non ti abbattere, rimani in te
Don't get down, stay true to yourself
Prendi un foglio e scrivici il tuo nome
Take a sheet of paper and write your name on it
Quella sei tu, come eri bella in questa foto a testa in giù
That's you, how beautiful you were in this upside-down photo
Ah come ridevi o dovrei dire, com'eri tu, oh, oh, oh
Ah how you laughed or should I say, how you were, oh, oh, oh
E se non sai capire se la realtà è un illusione
And if you can't understand if reality is an illusion
Tu non ti abbattere rimani in te
Don't get down, stay true to yourself
Prendi un foglio e scrivi le parole
Take a sheet of paper and write the words
Ah, oh, oh, ah
Ah, oh, oh, ah
Quella sei tu, i tuoi sorrisi non nasconderli mai più
That's you, don't hide your smiles ever again
Ah, ti serviranno vedrai ancora
Ah, you'll need them, you'll see, again
Ti serviranno vedrai ancora
You'll need them, you'll see, again
Ti serviranno vedrai, ti serviranno vedrai
You'll need them, you'll see, you'll need them, you'll see
Ancora, ancora, ancora
Again, again, again
Finché non sai trovare in te
Until you can't find in yourself
Le verità della ragione
The truths of reason
Tu non ti abbattere rimani in te
Don't get down, stay true to yourself
Prendi un foglio e scrivi una canzone
Take a sheet of paper and write a song

Did you like this lyrics translation?
abbattere — to get down / to knock down
Abbattere is a versatile Italian verb that can mean 'to knock down' or 'to cut down' in a literal sense. However, in this song, it's used reflexively as non ti abbattere, which means 'don't get down' or 'don't be discouraged'.
It's an interesting word because it captures the song's central message of resilience and self-comfort when facing uncertainty or sadness. It's a less common, yet very impactful, way to tell someone not to give up.
