La Differenza Tra Me E Te Lyrics in English Tiziano Ferro

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song La Differenza Tra Me E Te by Tiziano Ferro from Italian to English.
The difference between me and you
I haven't understood it all the way, really well
Me and you
One of us knows how to get hurt, the other not so much
Me and you
It's almost a denial
I get lost in the details and the messes, you don't
And I fear your past and my past, but you don't
Me and you
It's so clear
And it seems hard
Bridge
My life
Always keeps me from sleeping
Makes me see it's obvious
The difference between me and you
Then you ask me how I'm doing
And your smile switches off
The torments and the questions about feeling good or feeling bad
Bridge
Torturing myself, asking myself
Why
The difference between me and you
You: how are you? Good. Me: how am I? Dunno
One smiles at what is, the other cries over what isn't
And I think it's a mistake
I've got two or three certainties, a pint and a few friends
You've got lots of questions, some awful ones, I say
Me and you
Elementary
Enough to make you want to run away
Bridge
My life
Always keeps me from sleeping
Makes me see it's obvious
The difference between me and you
Then you ask me how I'm doing
And your smile switches off
The torments of the questions about feeling good or feeling bad
Torturing myself, asking myself
Why
And if my life every now and then wiped out
The uselessness of these insecurities
I wouldn't tell you, but if
One fine day, looking out at life
All the sadness were already over
I'd come to you
Then you ask me how I'm doing
And your smile switches off
The torments and the questions about feeling good or feeling bad
Torturing myself, asking myself
Why
The difference between me and you
You: how are you? Good. Me: how am I? Dunno
One smiles at what is, the other cries over what isn't
And I think it'd be beautiful
I think it'd be beautiful

SONG MEANING

“La Differenza Tra Me E Te” is Tiziano Ferro’s playful yet heartfelt comparison of two very different personalities sharing the same relationship space. The singer paints himself as the over-thinker: he loses sleep over little details, gets tangled in self-doubt, and carries the weight of “why?” on his shoulders. On the other side stands the person he loves, someone who greets life with an easy smile, shrugs off the past, and answers “Bene!” whenever asked how things are going. Through vivid contrasts—crying over what is missing versus smiling at what is—Ferro highlights how two opposing emotional rhythms can coexist like verses in the same song.

Rather than seeing these differences as a fatal mismatch, the chorus flips the script: the gap between them might actually be “bellissimo.” The calm reassurance of the other person’s grin has the power to silence the singer’s inner storms, hinting that love often thrives on complementary strengths. By the end, the message is clear: embracing each other’s contrasting colors can create a fuller, more beautiful picture than either could paint alone.
