Invece No Lyrics in English Laura Pausini

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Invece No by Laura Pausini from Italian to English.
Maybe it was enough to breathe
Just breathe a bit
Till every heartbeat came back
And not look for the moment
To leave
Don't leave
Because it can't become routine
December without you
Whoever stays here hopes for the impossible
But no
There's no more time to explain
To ask if
I'd given you love
I'm here
And I'd still have things to say
Still
Because they break between the teeth
The most important things
Those words
We never dare
And I dive into the pain
To bring them back up
Bring them back here
One by one here
You feel them
They weigh and settle
Forever on us
And if you're gone
I don't know how to repeat them
I can't say them anymore!
But no
Memories pour down here
And I'd do more
Than admit it's late
How I'd like
To talk again
Still
But no
I don't have
More time to explain
That I too had
Something to hope for ahead of me
Something to finish with you
Maybe I just need to breathe
Just breathe a bit
Maybe it's late
Maybe not though

SONG MEANING

Picture this: You are standing in the chilly glow of December lights, watching precious seconds slip away while the words you should have said get stuck between your teeth. “Invece No” (“Instead, No”) is Laura Pausini’s heartfelt reminder that sometimes all we really need is a single breath—just enough time to say I’m sorry, I love you, or please stay. The song travels through waves of regret and urgency: memories pour down like rain, and every unsaid sentence grows heavier until it finally sinks into silence. Yet Pausini threads a thin line of hope: maybe a deep breath can still pull those hidden words back to the surface.

Wrapped in sweeping vocals and an emotional crescendo, the track asks listeners to press pause on life’s rush and speak up before doors close for good. Whether you have ever replayed a goodbye in your head or wished for one more chance to finish a story with someone you love, “Invece No” turns that universal ache into a soaring anthem of second chances—and a gentle nudge to never let the most important phrases go unspoken.
