Sai Che Lyrics in English Marco Mengoni

Home / Lyrics Translation / Marco Mengoni / Sai Che

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

Verse 1

You know

I went back to see again

That place where we used to go together

Where it rained while the sun was out

But no

That feeling wasn't there anymore

Verse 1

Of quiet joy

Remember how it was

Verse 1

When everything shone

And I wanted you, you wanted me

We were really happy with little

It didn't matter how or where

Without acting like giants

And swearing forever

But one way or another

Hoping for it in the meantime

Verse 2

You know

I looked for a way to forget

But suddenly there's my caring about you

That's still bigger than me

And there's no

Reason not to get back together

Verse 2

And you seem stronger than every time that

Among all the times that

I wanted you, you wanted me

We were really happy with little

It didn't matter how or where

Without acting like giants

And swearing forever

But one way or another

Hoping for it in the meantime

Verse 3

Having done everything not to be left at the door

And finding ourselves alone with the little that's left

Taking refuge in a place far from the world

Where even a single second seems endless

Of the love that remains

And of the time that passes

And believe me you know I was looking for a way to forget

To forget that I still care about you

But there are no rules you can follow to let it flow

It's stronger than me

We were really happy with little

It didn't matter how or where

Without acting like giants

And swearing forever

But one way or another

Hoping for it in the meantime

Outro

It's the love that remains

When time doesn't pass

And you stay at the door

With the love that remains

SONG MEANING

Sai Che is Marco Mengoni’s heartfelt postcard to a past love. The singer revisits the special spot where the couple once found sunshine in the rain, only to feel that the carefree magic has faded. As memories of their simple joys flood back—“Eravamo davvero felici con poco” (“We were truly happy with so little”)—he realizes that, no matter how hard he tries, his affection is still larger than himself. The song captures that tug-of-war between wanting to move on and the irresistible pull of unfinished love, reminding us that some feelings refuse to follow any rulebook.

Beneath the piano-driven pop sound lies a universal message: true connection doesn’t need grand promises or perfect settings. Mengoni celebrates those tiny, shining moments that outlive time itself, suggesting there is always a chance to start over if the love that remains is strong enough. It is a bittersweet yet uplifting anthem for anyone who has ever discovered that forgetting can be harder than falling in love in the first place.
