Non È Detto Lyrics in English Laura Pausini

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Non È Detto by Laura Pausini from Italian to English.
And what were you waiting for
To tell me what you had to say
To risk nothing
You won't go to hell or even to the altar
And we're so distant
Putting up with each other politely
Guilt doesn't exist
But everyone takes their own path
Forgive me for these days
I couldn't tell them
I had a new address
And a place to run away
And it's not certain I'll always miss you
Things change suddenly
And some corners at night will never see light
And it's not certain that I don't feel anything
If I keep my eyes on your absent gaze
And if I trust the power of a memory, just in case
Take the umbrella as shelter in the storm
If what I owe you
Is keeping my heart on the right side
Forgive me for these days
I couldn't tell them
I have a train to the airport and a flight in two hours
And it's not certain I'll always miss you
Things change suddenly
And some corners at night will never see light
And it's not certain that I don't feel anything
If I keep my eyes on your absent gaze
Because I trust the power of a memory, just in case
And it's not certain
And it's not certain
And it's not certain
And it's not certain
But who said I don't feel anything
What happened will stay important
Like the little hope we need
And that you give yourself
Forgive me for these days
I didn't know how to do it

SONG MEANING

“Non È Detto” feels like reading the last page of a love story before the author pens a brand-new chapter. Laura Pausini sings from that fragile moment when two people admit the spark has dimmed, even if affection still flickers in the background. Instead of dramatics, she opts for calm honesty: no one is to blame, feelings simply morph. The repeated line “non è detto” (literally “it’s not a given”) reminds us that hearts can switch direction without warning, and that’s part of being human.

Yet the song is far from gloomy. Between images of missed trains, rushed flights, and an umbrella held during a storm, Pausini sneaks in hope and self-care. She forgives the past, grabs her suitcase, and trusts the “forza di un ricordo” - the strength of a memory - to light the way forward. Listeners walk away knowing break-ups can be polite, truthful, and even empowering when both sides choose their own road with kindness.
