Tu No Lyrics in English Irama

Home / Lyrics Translation / Irama / Tu No

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Tu No by Irama from Italian to English.

But not you, not you, not you, not you

When you weren't there and I couldn't stand

I wished I could cling to a memory just to live

And I'll scream out loud but I won't feel better

I fall but deep down I deserve it

The bottom's so cold, isn't it

Not you, not you, not you

You were smiling, looking for a way to protect me

But you weren't there when I wanted you here

If only one stupid song were enough to bring you back to me

Just one last song so I can remember you, you

When you weren't there, the months went by

And in a second everything around was invisible

And I'll forget who you are, I'll forget you

And I won't let, won't let you

See me crumble once more

And I'll fall in love with her

But you'll never know who she is

I fall but deep down I deserve it

The bottom's so cold, isn't it

Not you, not you, not you

You were smiling, looking for a way to protect me

But you weren't there when I wanted you here

If only one stupid song were enough to bring you back to me

Just one last song so I can remember you, you

I can't bring you back to me

You were smiling, looking for a way to protect me

But you weren't there when I wanted you here

If only one stupid song were enough to bring you back to me

Just one last song so I can remember you

SONG MEANING

“Tu No” is Irama’s heartbreaking confession of feeling abandoned right when he needed someone the most. The repeated words tu no (“but you, no”) underline his disbelief: everyone else might show up, but the one person he trusted is missing. He pictures himself falling, hitting an icy rock-bottom, wishing that a “stupid song” could magically pull her back or at least preserve her memory. His voice swings between anger, self-blame, and desperate hope, creating a vivid soundtrack for anyone who has ever shouted into the void after a breakup.

Yet the song is not only about pain. As months roll by, Irama hints at eventual healing—he will fall in love again, learn to stand, and refuse to collapse one more time—while accepting that the absent lover will never know the new him. This mix of raw vulnerability and stubborn resilience gives the track its punch: a cathartic, melodramatic anthem that turns personal sorrow into a powerful sing-along moment.
