Senza Fare Sul Serio Lyrics in English Malika Ayane

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Senza Fare Sul Serio by Malika Ayane from Italian to English.
Some wait for a miracle
And others, instead, for love
Some ask a sleeping pill for peace
Some sleep only on the metro
Time can pass slowly
But if you waste time
Then time slips away, the moment
Slow like the movement
That, if you do it distracted
You lose your moment
You miss the moment
And some watch the clouds
And some wait by the phone
Some always answer you, though
Some can't say no
Time can pass slowly
But if you waste time
Then time slips away, the moment
Slow like the movement
That, if you do it distracted
You lose your moment
You miss the moment
You don't know how I'd like
To shrink everything to one sunny day
You don't know how I'd like
To know how to look back
Without taking it seriously
Without taking it seriously
How I'd love to drift off and laugh
Some feel in danger
Some feel like a hero
Some grow more sour with age
Some, like wine, get better
Time can pass slowly
But if you waste time
Then time slips away, the moment
Slow like the movement
That, if you do it distracted
You lose your moment
You miss the moment
Seize the moment
You don't know how I'd like
To shrink everything to one sunny day
You don't know how I'd like
To know how to look back
Without taking it seriously
Without taking it seriously
How I'd love to drift off and laugh

SONG MEANING

Senza Fare Sul Serio invites us to hop on a slow-moving carousel of everyday characters: someone praying for a miracle, another begging a sleeping pill for peace, commuters nodding off on the subway, friends who always say yes, and souls who never learned to say no. While the minutes tick by lazily, Malika Ayane reminds us that slow time can still slip away. If we get distracted or hesitate, the perfect chance ‑ the attimo ‑ vanishes before our eyes.

In the chorus she confesses a simple wish: to shrink life’s chaos into one sunny day, to look back on the past without being too serious, and to let herself laugh again. The song becomes a sparkling call to seize the moment, lighten up, and savor life’s sweetness before it speeds ahead. Whether you feel like souring with age or improving like fine wine, Malika’s voice nudges you to stop overthinking, loosen your grip, and dance along with time instead of racing against it.
