Se Non Te Lyrics in English Laura Pausini

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Se Non Te by Laura Pausini from Italian to English.
Time's got no time
You grab it or it goes away
Write it in your eyes
Turn a moment into eternity
In the lane of emotions
I walk with you and you hold me up
Shall we try it together?
Time's a conquest
That costs you what it gives you
It's not a defeat
It's always been an opportunity
In the lane of emotion
I travel uphill and someone holds me up
Shall we try it together, us?
Every time you look for me
I'll ask you
What fate is meant for us?
Every time I gambled
On a feeling and I won
I don't ask for anything if
I don't want anything if
It's not you
It's not you
For once I've got so much I can't breathe
I don't ask for anything if
I don't want anything if
It's not you
This is who we are
Us
Small sails against the hurricane
There's no need to walk
You already carry me where I have to go
We'll get there together
Every time you look for me
What fate is meant for us?
Every time I gambled
On a feeling and I won
So why do you think
Who am I coming to get?
It's not you
It's not you
And this time I've got so much I can't breathe
I don't ask for anything if
I don't want anything if
It's not you
It's not you
It's not you
It's not you
And this time I've got so much I can't breathe
I don't ask for anything if
I don't want anything if
It's not you
It's not you

SONG MEANING

Se Non Te ("If Not You") whisks us into Laura Pausini’s heartfelt universe where time is a restless traveler and love is the only passport. The verses remind us that time waits for no one: you either grab it or watch it slip away. Yet, instead of fearing the clock, Pausini invites us to transform each fleeting second into “eternity.” She paints a picture of two companions pacing side by side in the “corridor of emotions,” encouraging each other to climb life’s hills together. In this duet with time, every challenge becomes a chance rather than a defeat.

The soaring chorus crystallizes the message: all I want, all I need, is you. Pausini sings of risking her heart and coming out victorious, so now she asks for nothing—se non te. Even when they seem like “little sails against a hurricane,” their love steers them exactly where they need to go. The song celebrates daring to love loudly, valuing shared journeys, and choosing one special person over anything time could ever offer. Listen closely and you’ll hear an anthem that turns vulnerability into strength and seconds into forever.
