Se Soltanto Lyrics in English by Max Gazzè
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Se Soltanto by Max Gazzè from Italian to English.
Se soltanto avessi avuto
If only I'd had
Più minuti, ore, anni
More minutes, hours, years
Per chiederti se il vuoto
To ask you if the emptiness
Che ora stringono i miei palmi
That my palms now grip
È lo stesso delle sere in cui ti vedevo giù
Is the same as the evenings when I saw you down
E non sapere che cosa far di più
And not knowing what more to do
Se soltanto mi parlassi
If only you'd speak to me
Quando dialogo con l'aria
When I talk to the air
Perché sei gli alberi, i sassi
Because you are the trees, the stones
E stai ascoltando la mia storia
And you're listening to my story
Perché ormai quando cammino
Because now when I walk
Sei il rumore dei miei passi
You're the sound of my footsteps
Ed è tuo questo cantare mio in giardino
And this singing of mine in the garden is yours
Non sarà solo un ricordo
It won't be just a memory
Quel meraviglioso sguardo
That wonderful gaze
Sai che dopo ogni sorriso tuo
You know that after every smile of yours
Mi si fermava il mondo
My world would stop
Che non sono di pensiero
That aren't just thoughts
Le nostre vite perse
Our lost lives
Ma un percepire vero
But a true perception
Di carezze
Of caresses
Se soltanto avessi idea
If only I knew
Di quanto sia difficile
How difficult it is
Ogni volta che ho un immagine di te
Every time I have an image of you
Dove sei adesso?
Where are you now?
Non poterti dire che son nato e resto libero
Not being able to tell you that I was born and remain free
Che vivere però ora è solo questo
But that living now is just this
Come è facile incontrarti
How easy it is to meet you
Dentro gli occhi dei passanti
In the eyes of passersby
Nel via vai di certe nuvole
In the coming and going of certain clouds
Dipinta nei tramonti
Painted in the sunsets
Non sarà solo un rimpianto
It won't be just a regret
Né ingiuria contro il cielo
Nor an insult against the sky
Averti amata tanto per davvero
To have truly loved you so much

Did you like this lyrics translation?
naufragio — shipwreck
Naufragio literally translates to "shipwreck". It's a powerful and dramatic word that you don't hear in songs every day.
In this romantic ballad, Max Gazzè uses it metaphorically to describe being lost in a sea of emotion. He sings about "el naufragio de un sentimiento" (the shipwreck of a feeling), creating a vivid image of being completely overwhelmed by his love and desire. This poetic use makes it a truly memorable word.
