Non Me Ne Accorgo Lyrics in English Marco Mengoni

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Non Me Ne Accorgo by Marco Mengoni from Italian to English.
Do you know what music is pain?
Do you know what music is noise?
Do you know what's there? I'm fine
Do you know what's there? I'm not well
You won't ask for permission
If it's allowed
I leave promises to time
I leave your certainties to you
The guitar on the bed
The verses you never wrote
I won't ask for permission
I prefer to burn myself alone
Than to indulge you now
Where are you? In which part of the world?
Or are you still here and I don't realize it
Will you find the balance I seek
Or will you discover it in every doubt you are
I wouldn't want to, I wouldn't want to
But why are you in such a hurry to understand what we are?
All that's left for you is noise
I can't give it a name
Your slippery heart
All that's left for me is to skate, to skate on it
You in a corner alone
And I don't recognize you
Where are you? In which part of the world?
Or are you still here and I don't realize it
Will you find the balance I seek
Or will you discover it in every doubt you are
I wouldn't want to, I wouldn't want to
But why are you in such a hurry to understand what we are?
To understand what we are
To understand what we are
Or are you still here and I don't realize it
Will you invent the balance I seek
Or will you find it in every doubt you are
I wouldn't want to, I wouldn't want to
But why are you in such a hurry?
You already know what we are

SONG MEANING

Non Me Ne Accorgo is Marco Mengoni’s poetic confession of emotional whiplash: “Sai che musica è il dolore? / Sai che musica è il rumore?” He flips between “Sto bene” and “Sto male,” painting love as a mixtape where sweet melodies crash into static. The guitar lying on the bed, the verses never written, and the partner who is “maybe here, maybe gone” all underline one truth—this relationship lives in a limbo of half-spoken promises and loud, restless thoughts.

Instead of rushing to label what they are, Mengoni would rather feel everything, even if it burns. He leaves time to sort the promises and lets doubt become a compass. The song invites us to embrace the beautiful mess of not knowing, to skate on a “slippery heart,” and to realize that balance often appears only when we stop searching so hard for it. It is a soundtrack for anyone caught between “I’m fine” and “I’m not,” learning that sometimes the best answer to “Cosa siamo noi?” is simply to keep listening to the music of uncertainty.
