L'amore Qui Non Passa Lyrics in English Negramaro

Home / Lyrics Translation / Negramaro / L'amore Qui Non Passa

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song L'amore Qui Non Passa by Negramaro from Italian to English.

In a child's eyes, a giant gaze

In a woman's dreams, irreverent beauty

An old man chasing that fleeting instant

If he'd caught it sooner, he'd have done nothing with it

A roof opens, the sky rains into the house

Someone gathers it to turn it into poison

Drinking in slow sips like crystal drops

There's a lonely girl who's always waited for the dance

Love never passes here

In the kiss of lovers swapping silences

There's a story to toss, another to redo

The dark understairs of these lost corners

There's a heap of dust and wishes to mix

A dog is content to p*ss against the walls

No new land that makes it worth acting tough

A cat stays still watching him from the rooftops

That girl has lost even her last tooth

Love doesn't pass here

Love doesn't pass here, still can't be seen

Love doesn't pass here

Love doesn't pass here and still can't be seen

Love never passes here

In the shadow of memories

Of someone who never lived

There's someone who looks like you and you didn't recognize him

In the money we count

There's a devouring craving

To shrink time

To shorten distances in the marks I keep

On the skin it scars

If you still burn hard, what they say isn't true

Love came through here

And left in a hurry

But you stayed mine

You're trapped inside

Love doesn't pass here

Love never passes here

Love doesn't pass here

Love doesn't pass here, ever

Love never passes here

Love doesn't pass here and you still burn hard

Love never passes here, never

SONG MEANING

Picture a sleepy Italian town at dusk: Negramaro’s lyrics move the camera from a wide-eyed child to a woman lost in daring dreams, from an old man chasing a moment that slipped away to a lonely girl waiting for her first dance. Every snapshot feels ordinary, yet each one hides a tiny universe of hope, regret, and stubborn longing. Over cracked rooftops and dim stairwells, the chorus rings out: L’amore qui non passa mai — love doesn’t just stroll by, it digs in its heels and refuses to leave.

The song is a poetic tug-of-war between what fades and what endures. Money, teeth, and time may crumble, but love keeps smoldering “like a burn on skin,” even when it hurts to touch. Negramaro reminds us that love can be unseen, distorted, even poisoned, yet it still pulses beneath the dust. Listening to this track feels like wandering through a cinematic alleyway where every shadow hints at another untold story and the echo of love lingers long after the last chord.
