Non Passerai Lyrics in English Marco Mengoni

Home / Lyrics translation / Marco Mengoni / Non Passerai

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Non Passerai by Marco Mengoni from Italian to English.

At this crossroads tell me where we go

With one more step

You who maybe have already chosen a bit

Not to love me anymore

And like hung paintings, levers without weights

That don't live

Like when there was a whole life

Two who love each other

And I still climb up high because

That's where you were

But now I need courage

To look down

And nothing resists

My heart when it insists

Because I know you'll never pass

That it won't pass

You won't pass me

You won't pass

Ok so now I confess

I had only you

How do I live now

Alone, without you?

And without your smiles and all the days spent

Today when you're not here

And it's a closed door and no other excuse to share

And I still climb up high because

That's where you were

But now I need courage

To look down

And nothing resists

My heart when it insists

Because I know you'll never pass

That it won't pass

You won't pass me

You won't pass

And how much love will be missing

And too much noise in one day

That doesn't work

And in every place to understand

That it won't pass

And I still climb up high because

That's where you were

But now I need courage

To look down

And nothing resists

My heart when it insists

Because I know you'll never pass

That you won't pass

You won't pass me

It won't pass

incrocio — crossroads

Incrocio literally translates to "crossroads" or "intersection". It's a common word in everyday Italian, but in this song, it takes on a deeper, more metaphorical meaning.

Marco Mengoni uses "incrocio" to represent a pivotal moment or a difficult decision point in a relationship. He sings, "A questo incrocio dimmi dove si va" (At this crossroads, tell me where we go), perfectly capturing the uncertainty and emotional weight of a relationship at a turning point. This makes it an engaging and thought-provoking word in the context of the lyrics.

What happens when the person you love decides to walk away, but your heart refuses to let them leave? Non Passerai puts us right at that emotional crossroads. Marco Mengoni paints the scene with cinematic images: empty picture frames, closed doors, and a dizzying climb to the place where his lover once stood. Every line is a tug-of-war between accepting the breakup and the stubborn hope that the feeling will somehow outlast the goodbye.

The chorus is the song’s heartbeat, repeating like a mantra: "Tu non passerai mai" – "You will never pass." No matter how high he climbs or how fiercely reality tries to pull him down, he is convinced that memories of her will remain anchored inside him. The track blends vulnerability with determination, turning personal heartbreak into an anthem for anyone who has ever tried to move on while a love story keeps echoing in their chest.
