Gente Lyrics in English Laura Pausini

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Gente by Laura Pausini from Italian to English.
You know, we mess up almost nonstop
Hoping we never get hurt too bad
But we fall so many times
Life, you know, is a tightrope
And sooner or later we find ourselves apart
At a crossroads
And every day together
Just to move one meter more
It takes all the goodness
We can find in each of us
But sometimes a single smile is enough
To melt inside us even a winter of ice
And start again from zero
Because there's no limit for anyone
Who holds a true love inside
Just one breath
We're not angels in flight come down from the sky
But common folks who really love
People who want a truer world
The people you meet on city streets
Try and you'll see there's always a way
Inside us to take off again
Toward clear skies
We're not angels in flight come down from the sky
But common folks who really love
People who want a truer world
The people who together will change it
People who want a truer world
The people who together will change it
Together will change it
Will try
People who will try
Love will change it
Will succeed
People who will succeed
Together will make it
Will change
People who will change

SONG MEANING

Laura Pausini’s “Gente” is a heartfelt anthem to everyday people, those who stumble, get bruised, and keep reaching for something brighter. Through vivid images of life as a tightrope and winters of ice that melt with a single smile, the song reminds us that we are not celestial beings but gente comune, ordinary folks whose most powerful tool is sincere love. Every small act of kindness becomes a step forward, proving that even when we face crossroads or feel grounded, there is always a hidden way within us to lift off again toward clearer skies.

The chorus gathers listeners into a collective embrace, celebrating “people who really love” and who dream of a more genuine world. Pausini’s message sparkles with optimism: real change is not reserved for heroes, it is born from neighbors, friends, and strangers we pass on the street. By uniting our hopes, smiles, and resilience, the song insists we can — and will — reshape the world together.
