Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Se Tu Fossi Qui by Noemi from Italian to English.

If you were here

I would be alone

And the house would have no more walls

If you were here

You certainly wouldn't be mine

Never

If you were here

It's not your fault

But we would be separated by silence

I remember, you know, when

I left

All the words shipwrecked

All have been erased

By a sudden wind that invades this room

By a lighthouse that dazzles my wonder

You disappear in bed light as a leaf

It's the wind that now leads this dance

All our exaggerated dreams like

Those empty and abandoned buildings you saw

When you went to school

You are still there

We are still there

If you were here

I would want from you

A calm that falls from above

I danced, you know

I do it when I rejoice in sadness

All the words shipwrecked

All have been erased

By a sudden wind that invades this room

By a lighthouse that dazzles my wonder

You disappear in bed light as a leaf

It's the wind that now leads this dance

All our exaggerated dreams like

Those new and abandoned buildings

Like all those incinerated kids

Like all our exaggerated dreams

As if you were here

All our exaggerated dreams like

Those empty and abandoned buildings you saw

When you went to school

And you are still there

We are still there

SONG MEANING

Se Tu Fossi Qui spins a haunting daydream where Noemi imagines the loved one’s return and discovers that even their presence would not mend the silence between them. Walls melt away, words sink like shipwrecks, and a sudden wind rushes through the room, showing how fragile memories can be. The flashing lighthouse, the empty palaces seen on the way to school, and the leaf-light body disappearing in bed are all vivid pictures of a relationship that feels huge in emotion yet hollow in reality.

Rather than give in to pure sadness, the singer turns the ache into movement: she dances when she is exultant with sadness, craving a calm that could fall from the sky. The song reminds us that some connections stay trapped in the realm of what-ifs, leaving only abandoned dreams and echoing corridors of nostalgia. It is a bittersweet anthem for anyone who has ever wished someone were here, only to realize that presence alone cannot fill the quiet between two hearts.
