Below, I translated the lyrics of the song La Borsa Di Una Donna by Noemi from Italian to English.

A woman's purse weighs as if her life were inside

Between a book that never wants to end

And other tricks to stop time

There's her photo from a year ago that she put away

Because she didn't like herself

But looking at it now she realizes

That she was beautiful but didn't understand it

A woman's purse

Recognizes her hands and only she can enter

Hidden in a pocket is that trip

That is a life she would like to take

Millions of receipts, the useless anesthetic of her pain

And stupid guilt for the desire to please

And if she found those days

Of caresses in her hair

She, for just two minutes alone

Would pay a thousand years

Years spent trying to find

The things that someone managed to lose

The desire to smile, to forgive

The weakness of still being

As others want her to be

A woman's purse

Almost never matches what she's experiencing

It hides her phone jealously

Of someone who's calling her

Close to her keys

The usual obsession of forgetting them again

And in that apparent mess, the fear of being alone

A woman's purse

That can reveal her secrets in a moment

And maybe in yours, absentmindedly, her life has remained inside

You who thought there was room left

For another love

Instead, in a woman's purse, there's no space to forget

To forget

And go where your heart takes you, yes

A snippet inside the license

You've been there a thousand times but

You've never found anything

Nothing to help you understand

The meaning of an evening that doesn't know how to amaze

The sense of your remembering and planning

Forgetting to live now

Now that a wind is rising, sweeping away the clouds

And taking away the winters

The dust, the doubts, and the miracles

Expect a thousand years

Years spent trying to find

The things that someone managed to lose

The desire to smile, to forgive

The weakness of still being

As others want you to be

A woman's purse weighs as if my life were inside

SONG MEANING

Ever rummaged through a handbag and felt you had stepped into a parallel universe? In “La Borsa Di Una Donna,” Noemi turns that everyday object into a treasure chest of memories, hopes, and hidden fears. Every lipstick, receipt, and crumpled photo becomes a clue about the woman who carries them: her unfinished books hint at dreams still in progress, wrinkled cinema tickets soothe past heartaches, and a long-ignored travel brochure whispers of adventures postponed. The song playfully invites us to peek inside this chaotic purse, only to reveal a tender portrait of self-doubt, nostalgia, and the constant push-and-pull between who she is and who the world expects her to be.

Yet beneath the jangling keys and half-forgotten phone calls lies something universal. Noemi reminds us that our own “bags” are just as crowded: stuffed with souvenirs from people we miss, ambitions we shelved for later, and the fear of ending up alone. By the final chorus, the handbag’s weight feels like life itself—heavy, messy, but undeniably precious. The song is a warm nudge to empty out the clutter, forgive ourselves, and finally make room for the present moment.
