La Borsa Di Una Donna Lyrics in English Noemi

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song La Borsa Di Una Donna by Noemi from Italian to English.
A woman's bag weighs as if her life were inside
Between a book she never wants to finish
And other tricks to stop time
There's a photo of her from a year ago she put away
Because she didn't like herself
But looking at it now she realizes
That she was beautiful but didn't know it
A woman's bag
Knows her hands and only she can reach in
Hidden in a pocket there's that trip
She's wanted to take all her life
Millions of receipts, the useless anesthetic for her pain
And stupid guilt for that desire to please
And if she found in there those days
Of caresses through her hair
She, for just two minutes
Would pay a thousand years
Years spent trying to find again
The things someone managed to lose
The urge to smile, to forgive
The weakness of still being
The way others want her
A woman's bag
Hardly ever matches what she's living
She hides her phone, jealous
Of someone who's calling her
Next to her keys
The usual obsession with forgetting them again
And in that apparent mess the fear of being alone
A woman's bag
That can reveal her secrets in a moment
And maybe, absent-mindedly, in yours her life stayed inside
You who thought there was still
Some space for another love
But in a woman's bag there's no room to forget
To forget
And you go where your heart takes you, yeah
A clipping inside the license
You've been there a thousand times but
You've never found anything there
Nothing that helps you understand
The meaning of an evening that can't amaze
The meaning of your remembering and planning
Forgetting to live now
Now that a wind rises and sweeps the clouds
And carries away the winters
The dust, the doubts and the miracles
You've waited a thousand years
Years spent trying to find again
The things someone managed to lose
The urge to smile, to forgive
The weakness of still being
The way others want you
A woman's bag 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.
