Se Tu Fossi Qui Lyrics in English Noemi

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Se Tu Fossi Qui by Noemi from Italian to English.
If you were here
I'd be alone
And the house would have no walls anymore
If you were here
You surely wouldn't be mine
Ever
If you were here
It's not your fault
But we'd be split by silence
I remember, you know, when
I left
All the words shipwrecked
All were erased
By a sudden wind that floods this room
By a lighthouse that blinds my wonder
You vanish in bed, light as a leaf
It's the wind that now leads this dance
All our dreams overblown like
Those empty, abandoned buildings you saw
When you went to school
You're still there
We're still there
If you were here
I'd like from you
A calm that plunges from above
I danced, you know
I do it when I cheer in sadness
All the words shipwrecked
All were erased
By a sudden wind that floods this room
By a lighthouse that blinds my wonder
You vanish in bed, light as a leaf
It's the wind that now leads this dance
All our dreams overblown like
Those new yet abandoned buildings
Like all those scorched kids
Like all our overblown dreams
As if you were here
All our dreams overblown like
Those empty buildings I left behind that you saw
When you went to school
And you're still there
We're 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.
