Quella Che Non Sei Lyrics in English by Ligabue
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Quella Che Non Sei by Ligabue from Italian to English.
Io ti ho vista già
I saw you already
Eri in mezzo a tutte le parole che
You were among all the words that
Non sei riuscita a dire mai
You never managed to say
Eri in mezzo a una vita che poteva andare ma
You were in the middle of a life that could work out but
Non si sapeva dove
Nobody knew where
Ti ho vista fare giochi con lo specchio
I saw you playing games with the mirror
E aver fretta d'esser grande
And being in a hurry to be grown up
E poi voler tornare indietro quando non si può
And then wanting to go back when you can't
Quella che non sei
The one you aren't
Quella che non sei, non sei
The one you aren't, you aren't
Ma io sono qua e se ti basterà
But I'm here and if it's enough for you
Quella che non sei, non sarai
The one you aren't, you won't be
A me basterà
It will be enough for me
C'è un posto dentro te in cui fa freddo
There's a place inside you where it's cold
È il posto in cui nessuno è entrato mai
It's the place nobody ever entered
Quella che non sei
The one you aren't
Io ti ho vista già
I saw you already
Eri in mezzo a tutte le tue scuse
You were among all your excuses
Senza saper per cosa
Without knowing for what
Eri in mezzo a chi ti dice scegli, o troia o sposa
You were among those who tell you choose, either wh*re or bride
Ti ho vista vergognarti di tua madre
I saw you being ashamed of your mother
Fare a pezzi il tuo cognome
Tearing your surname to pieces
Sempre senza disturbare che non si sa mai
Always without disturbing, because you never know
Quella che non sei
The one you aren't
Quella che non sei, non sei
The one you aren't, you aren't
Ma io sono qua e se ti basterà
But I'm here and if it's enough for you
Quella che non sei, non sarai
The one you aren't, you won't be
A me basterà
It will be enough for me
C'è un posto dentro te che tieni spento
There's a place inside you that you keep turned off
È il posto in cui nessuno arriva mai
It's the place nobody ever reaches
Quella che non sei
The one you aren't
Ti ho vista stare dietro a troppo rimmel
I saw you hiding behind too much mascara
Dietro un'altra acconciatura eri dietro una paura
Behind another hairstyle, you were behind a fear
Che non lasci mai
That you never let go of
Quella che non sei
The one you aren't
Quella che non sei, non sei
The one you aren't, you aren't
Ma io sono qua e se ti basterà
But I'm here and if it's enough for you
Quella che non sei, non sarai
The one you aren't, you won't be
A me basterà
It will be enough for me
C'è un posto dentro te in cui fa freddo
There's a place inside you where it's cold
È il posto in cui nessuno è entrato mai
It's the place nobody ever entered
Quella che non
The one that doesn't
Lai, la, lai, la, la
Lai, la, lai, la, la
La, la, lai, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, lai, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
Lai, la, lai, la, la
Lai, la, lai, la, la
La, la, lai, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, lai, la, la, la, la, la, la, la

Did you like this lyrics translation?
vergognarti — to be ashamed
Vergognarti comes from the verb vergognarsi, meaning 'to be ashamed' or 'to feel shame'. It's a strong emotional verb that isn't as common as everyday actions.
In the song, Ligabue sings, "Ti ho vista vergognarti di tua madre" (I saw you being ashamed of your mother). This line is particularly poignant, touching on themes of identity, family, and the complex emotions one might feel about their origins or circumstances. It's a powerful word that evokes deep introspection.
