Il Primo Passo Sulla Luna Lyrics in English Laura Pausini

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Il Primo Passo Sulla Luna by Laura Pausini from Italian to English.
It happens to feel bad because of an argument
To not have the exact same opinion on things
Sometimes it's not easy to understand
Who's wrong and who's right
Sometimes you drink poison
Sometimes it's just an impression
Constantly giving
To someone who never shows how much they care
Self-respect isn't up for discussion
But facts are evidence and there's no doubt about it
I can't always take the first step
And come toward you again
'Cause it's like being thirsty with the sea inside
You never cut me any slack
It's easier for a stone to turn into a feather
Or to take the first step on the moon?
Or to take the first step on the moon?
Or to take the first step on the moon?
It's almost a basic equation
For what it's worth
It's a matter of principle
And not something personal
And it's clear you don't wanna talk about it
But at a fork there are always two roads
To choose where to go
Constantly giving
To someone who never shows how much they care
I can't always take the first step and come toward you again
'Cause it's like being thirsty with the sea inside
You never cut me any slack
It's easier for a stone to turn into a feather
Or to take the first step on the moon?
Or to take the first step on the moon?
Or to take the first step on the moon?
Bridge
Being thirsty with the sea inside
Easier for a stone to turn into a feather
Or to take the first step on the moon?
Or to take the first step on the moon?
Or to take the first step on the moon?

SONG MEANING

Il Primo Passo Sulla Luna paints the picture of a relationship stuck in orbit. Laura Pausini sings from the viewpoint of someone who is always the peacemaker, forever taking the first step after every argument. She’s tired of offering endless chances to a partner who never meets her halfway, and she uses colorful imagery to show just how unfair it feels. Trying to patch things up, she says, is like “having thirst with the sea inside” or waiting “for a stone to turn into a feather” – practically impossible!

The biggest metaphor comes in the title: making the first move with this person is as challenging as taking humanity’s inaugural step on the moon. Through these witty comparisons, Pausini reminds us that self-respect matters. Love cannot survive on one-sided effort, and sometimes the bravest move is to stop walking toward someone who refuses to take even a single step in return.
