La Solitudine Lyrics in English Laura Pausini

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song La Solitudine by Laura Pausini from Italian to English.
Marco's gone and he won't come back
And the seven-thirty train goes without him
It's a metal heart with no soul
In the cold of the city's grey morning
At school the desk is empty, Marco's inside me
His breath is sweet among my thoughts
Huge distances seem to separate us
But my heart beats hard inside me
Who knows if you'll think of me
If you never talk with your folks
If you hide yourself like I do
Avoiding glances and staying
Locked in your room and you don't want to
Eat and you clutch
The pillow tight and cry, and you don't know
How much more it'll hurt you
Loneliness
Marco, in my diary I have a photograph
Your eyes are a bit shy, like a child's
I press it to my heart and I feel that you're here
Among English and math homework
Your dad and his advice, what monotony
With his job he took you away
He surely never asked your opinion
He said, "One day you'll understand me"
Who knows if you'll think of me
If you talk with your friends
So you won't suffer over me anymore
But it's not easy, you know
At school I've had enough
And the afternoons without you
Studying is pointless
All my thoughts
Crowd around you
It's impossible to split
The life of the two of us
Please wait for me, my love
But I don't know how to give you false hopes
The loneliness between us
This silence inside me
Is the unrest of living
Life without you
Please wait for me because
I can't stay without you
It's impossible to split
The story of the two of us
The loneliness between us
This silence inside me
Is the unrest of living
Life without you
Please wait for me because
I can't stay without you
It's impossible to split
The story of the two of us
Loneliness

SONG MEANING

Picture a chilly, gray morning in an Italian city. A 7:30 train rattles away and, with it, Marco disappears, leaving Laura to confront an empty school desk and a heart that suddenly feels too full. Wrapped in textbooks and memories, she clings to a small photograph, hearing his sweet breath echo through her thoughts while loneliness—la solitudine—settles in like an unwelcome roommate.

The song turns this personal diary entry into a universal story of first love interrupted by distance and grown-up decisions. Laura Pausini paints loneliness as a force that steals appetite, sleep, and concentration, yet it cannot extinguish hope. Laura pleads for Marco to wait, believing their story is impossible to divide and trusting that love can outlast even the longest stretch of silence. "La Solitudine" reminds us that separation may wound, but it also amplifies the heartbeat of true connection.
