Durare Lyrics in English by Laura Pausini
Durare means "to last" or "to endure." While it might seem simple, its placement in the song's title and lyrics gives it profound meaning.
In the context of the song, Laura Pausini sings about a love that is meant "da durare io e te" (to last, you and I). It's a beautiful expression of commitment and the desire for a lasting relationship, making it a central theme and a memorable word.
This song is a huge, open-hearted celebration of finding your person. Laura Pausini sings to a lover who is special, someone who isn't like everyone else: "Meno male che non sei normale / Come tutti quanti" (Thank goodness you're not normal / like everyone else). It's about that feeling of finally meeting someone who just gets you, and wondering what took them so long to show up. She asks, "come mai ci hai messo così tanto / Ad incontrarmi qui" (so why did it take you so long / to meet me here?). This isn't a complaint; it's the joy of recognizing that you were meant to find each other.
The whole song builds around the idea of sharing a future. The title itself, "Durare," means "to last." Pausini lists all the different kinds of lives she wants to share with this person: "una vita pensata ed una da pensare insieme" (a planned life and one to plan together), "una da inventare" (one to invent), "una da capire" (one to understand), and most importantly, "una da durare io e te" (one to last, you and me). It's a beautiful look at a relationship that is both a safe harbor and a wild adventure.
