Le Parole Perdute Lyrics in English Fiorella Mannoia

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Le Parole Perdute by Fiorella Mannoia from Italian to English.
The lost words hidden deep in the heart
wait in silence for a better day
a flash of courage to come back to the surface
a happy time, a happy time
finding yourself again, without shame
for every feeling you have, in this big lie
of man made free yet slave to profit
and meanwhile time passes, passes
Love me my love, they're simple words
Love me my love, we'll stay accomplices
Love me my love, 'cause time runs fast
Hold me my love, keep me tight
and dreams move away, they're taken from us
Dreams move away, they're taken from us
Hold me my love, we're still in time
Love me my love, we're still in time
We're still in time
The lost words have walked so far
beyond appearances in endless motion
between what we want and what we must
with the soul in conflict over what we're not
The lived words you find in the streets
wait in silence for the sunny days
and a flash of courage to come back to the surface
a happy time, a happy time
Love me my love, they're simple words
Love me my love, we'll stay accomplices
Love me my love, 'cause time runs fast
Hold me my love, keep me tight
'cause dreams move away, they're taken from us
Dreams move away, they're taken from us
Hold me my love, we're still in time
Love me my love, we're still in time
We're still in time, we're still in time
A happy time, happy
Love me my love, with no regret
Love me my love, let's run against the wind
Love me my love, I still wanna believe
Hold me my love, dawn will come back
Dawn will come back, dawn will come back
A happy time, dawn will come back

SONG MEANING

**“Le Parole Perdute” invites us on a heartfelt hunt for the lost words we keep buried inside. Fiorella Mannoia sings about emotions that hide “in fondo al cuore” and wait patiently for a spark of courage to resurface. The lyrics paint a world where people are declared free yet chained to profit, where dreams drift farther away if we do not speak up. Against this backdrop, the song urges us to reclaim authenticity: to say Amami amore mio (Love me, my love), to hold tight, and to trust that a tempo felice — a happy time — can still return.

At its core, the track is a gentle rebellion. It celebrates simple, genuine words as antidotes to a noisy, superficial society. By daring to voice our deepest feelings and by standing “controvento” (against the wind), we protect our dreams from being stolen. Mannoia reminds us that, while time races on, it is still possible to be accomplices in love and hope. Speak, embrace, and believe — and the dawn (l’aurora) will rise again.
