Tu Sei Lei Lyrics in English Ligabue

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Tu Sei Lei by Ligabue from Italian to English.

After all these years

I don't stop watching you

Sometimes still open-mouthed

I still don't get it

You never stop amazing

As if it would never end

You want to hide your flaws from me

While I like them all

But you don't want to hear it

And I watch you while you dream

And I have to stay outside

And I can only guess

After so many years and a day

When the sea seems calm

You come out again

With that foreign-sounding name

From someone who's always been alone

And for a while doesn't have to anymore

Because

You are her

Among so many people

You are her

And you always have been

And I know those eyes

I've often seen them naked

But the end was never in sight

Your heart racing

Your pupils dilated

And you don't give me my heart back

After so many years and a day

When the wind seems still

It's always you who shows up

With that foreign-sounding name

Someone who can stay alone

But hasn't had to for a while

Because

You are her

Among so many people

You are her

And you always have been

If the whole universe

Made us meet again

It must mean something for sure

You are her

The way you are

Relentlessly

Bridge

And you've saved me so many times

From some kind of other death

By going straight for the truth

And you give me another day

Where everything seems still

But everything transforms

Everything is confirmed

And you leave your scent around

Like telling me 'I'm here'

Like telling me 'I'll always be here'

Because

You are her

Among so many people

You are her

And you always have been

If the whole universe

Made us meet again

It must mean something for sure

You are her

The way you are

Inevitably

SONG MEANING

Tu Sei Lei is Ligabue’s love-letter to that one special person who never stops taking his breath away. Even after “all these years,” the singer keeps catching himself staring wide-eyed at her quirks, her flaws, the way she dreams, and the way her very presence perfumes the room. The song celebrates the thrill of discovering that the person beside you is still full of surprises, still capable of making your heart race like the first time.

At its core, the track is a rock ballad about recognition and destiny. Among “so many people,” she is unmistakably the one: the woman who has saved him “from many different deaths,” guided him with honesty, and proven that the universe really does have a plan when it brings two souls back together. By repeating the refrain “Tu sei lei,” Ligabue turns a simple declaration into an anthem of enduring devotion—an invitation to believe that true love not only survives the years, it keeps on shining brighter.
