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.
