Paura Lyrics in English by Francesco Renga
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Paura by Francesco Renga from Italian to English.
Toccami
Touch me
Accarezza il mio stupore
Caress my wonder
Come un desiderio che può farmi male
Like a desire that can hurt me
Troppo grande
Too big
Per poterlo sopportare
To bear it
Anche solo un'ora, per lasciarmi andare
Even just an hour, to let myself go
Al gioco
Into the game
Forse adesso non è il caso
Maybe now isn't the time
E mordo il mio
And I bite my
Sorriso
Smile
Fino a cancellarlo
Until I erase it
Tra le mani
In my hands
Quello che rimane
What remains
Briciole d'amore e di
Crumbs of love and of
Paura?
Fear?
Sì
Yes
Frasi desolate
Desolate phrases
Dette al buio
Said in the dark
E voglia di finirla qui
And a desire to end it here
Paura?
Fear?
Sì
Yes
Sulla pelle
On my skin
Nella bocca quel sapore
That taste in my mouth
Cosa ci facciamo con il nostro amore?
What do we do with our love?
Troppo grande per poterlo conservare
Too big to keep it
Lasciati guardare e fammi scomparire
Let me look at you and make me disappear
Mordere il tuo
To bite your
Sorriso
Smile
Fino a cancellarlo
Until I erase it

Paura — Fear
Paura means "fear" in Italian. While it might seem like a common word, its placement and context in this song make it particularly striking and central to the emotional core.
Francesco Renga uses it to encapsulate the overwhelming and conflicting emotions of a love that is "too big to bear." The question mark after "Paura?" in the lyrics highlights a moment of vulnerability and introspection, suggesting that fear is an unexpected but powerful component of intense desire and connection. It's a raw and relatable emotion that draws listeners in.
