Laura Non C'è Lyrics in English Nek

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Laura Non C'è by Nek from Italian to English.
Laura's not here
She's gone away
Laura's not mine anymore
And you who are here
And you ask me why
I love her though she gives me nothing now
I miss her so much it steals my breath
It hurts and she doesn't know
That it's never gone away for me
Laura's not here
I understand that
It's stupid to look for her in you
I feel like sh*t, believe me, and I wish I didn't
Being with you and thinking of her
Tonight I wanna stay lit
Let's go over there
Thinking so much I've blown a fuse
If you want we can make love now
If you want
But it's not the same between us
On my own I'm not enough, stay with me
It's just weird that in her place
There's you
There's you
Where's Laura?
I miss her, you know
Maybe there's another beside her
I swear I'd never thought of that
That it could happen to us
She's moving inside another embrace
On a body that's not mine anymore
Like this I can't take it
If you want we can make love now
If you want
But it's not the same between us
On my own I'm not enough, stay with me
It's just weird that in her place
There's you
There's you
Maybe it's
Hard like this
But I don't know
What to do
I think that
It's logical
No matter how I try to run away
She's there
I don't want you to be an emergency
But between feeling good and love there's
Only Laura is my conscience
If you want we can make love now
no
But it's not the same, now I know
Her reflection's still between you and me
I'm sorry but I can't, Laura's here
If you want we can make love now
no
My world's crashing down and now I know
Her reflection's still between you and me
I'm sorry but I can't
Laura's here
Laura's here

SONG MEANING

“Laura non c’è” is a catchy 90s pop-rock anthem that hides a bittersweet confession. Nek sings about a man who is physically with a new girlfriend yet mentally trapped in memories of his ex, Laura. Every line shows the tug-of-war between wanting to move on and being unable to shake the ghost of a past love. He tries to fill the void by diving into a new romance, urging “Se vuoi, ci amiamo adesso” (“If you want, we can make love now”), but instantly admits it will never feel the same. The chorus pounds home the dilemma: Laura is gone… and still everywhere.

The song’s energy makes you want to dance, while the lyrics reveal a man suffocating from nostalgia. He imagines Laura in someone else’s arms, feels his world collapse, and finally accepts that her “riflesso” still stands between him and any future partner. The result is a relatable story of heartbreak wrapped in an irresistibly sing-along melody—perfect for practicing Italian pronunciation while exploring universal feelings of love, loss, and the struggle to let go.
