Piccola Anima Lyrics in English Ermal Meta , Elisa

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Piccola Anima by Ermal Meta from Italian to English.
Little soul
Who runs away as if
You were a sparrow
Scared to death
Someone's here for you
If you look closely you've got him right in front of you
He runs too so he won't have to escape
If you look closely I'm in front of you
If you speak softly, I hear you loud
What I want from you
Won't be easy to explain
I don't even know where or why you lost the words
But if you leave, you take my eyes with you
Little soul
The streetlights' light accompanies you home
In love and alone
That vile man never understood you
You know breathing isn't hard
It's love that keeps you alive
What I want from you
Won't be easy to explain
I don't even know where or why you lost the words
But if you leave, you take my eyes with you
Bridge
Walking makes every sadness fade
Want to walk together?
You deserve every beauty in the world
Bridge
They say there's nothing more fragile than a promise
And I won't make you even one
What I want from you
I can't explain it
But if you leave, you take my dreams with you
Outro
Little soul
You're not small at all

SONG MEANING

Piccola Anima feels like a warm night-time walk with someone who is hurting. Ermal Meta and Elisa sing to a fragile “little soul” who keeps flitting away like a frightened sparrow. The narrator stands right in front of her, whispering reassurance: I hear you even when you speak softly, I am here even when you think you are alone. He sees the shadow of a toxic relationship that left her doubting her worth, yet gently reminds her that breathing is easy and love is what truly keeps her alive.

The song’s heart beats in tender contradictions: he can’t quite explain what he wants, but he knows that if she leaves, she will carry his eyes, his dreams, his everything. Their stroll under city lamplights becomes a promise without promises—because promises can break, and she deserves something steadier. By the final line, the message blossoms: the “little” soul is not little at all, but vast and deserving of every beauty the world can offer.
