A Parte Te Lyrics in English Ermal Meta

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song A Parte Te by Ermal Meta from Italian to English.
This old courtyard that
Has a faded gate
Words on the wall
That reminds me of something
A road that leads
To my old school
A bike racing past
Like a hurried thought
If you were still here with me
I'd show you
That the love lesson you taught me
I've learned it well
You'll always be
In the upper right pocket
In a tired step inside a high leap
That gives me chills
You'll always be
In an unexpected smile
Or on a date with my destiny
A room that seems
To have too many memories
On a paper horizon
I see again the days you were here
If you were still here with me
I'd show you
That the love lesson you taught me
I've learned it well
You'll always be
In the upper right pocket
In a tired step inside a high leap
That gives me chills
You'll be forever
In an unexpected smile
Or on a date with my destiny
That I never see face to face
That I've never seen
You'll always be
The exception to a flaw
A slow breath
That marks time
That nobody ever stops
You'll be with me forever
In the upper right pocket
You'll listen laughing to every secret of mine
That nobody
Except you
Except us
Has ever seen
Has ever seen

SONG MEANING

Picture yourself wandering through the places that shaped your childhood: a faded gate, a scribble on a wall, the road to your old school. Each familiar spot sparks a flash of memory, and—like the roar of a passing motorbike—your thoughts race to someone who is no longer there. “A Parte Te” (Apart from You) turns this stroll down memory lane into a heartfelt tribute. Ermal Meta sings to a beloved person who taught him what love really means. Even though that person is gone, their presence is tucked safely “in the right-hand pocket,” hidden in every unexpected smile and in every goose-bump-inducing leap of faith.

The song’s power lies in its comforting paradox: absence becomes a constant companion. Past and present blur as the singer realizes that the lessons, secrets, and warmth he once shared remain alive inside him. Whether you’re daydreaming in a too-quiet room or meeting your destiny head-on, the echo of that special someone is always beating time beside you—something no one else, apart from the two of you, will ever fully see.
