PAURA MAI Lyrics in English Ultimo

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song PAURA MAI by Ultimo from Italian to English.

I'm afraid that life passes and that I can't

Live like I would like or how I want

I'm afraid to feel free but in a cage

That what you lose along the way then doesn't come back

I'm afraid that a friend one day won't answer

The same one I hugged tightly while drunk

I'm afraid of the silence in the room

Of you who love me and it's no longer enough

Enough

I'm afraid that my mother one day in November

Looks at me crying but without saying anything

This life that laughs from the mountain and doesn't give a f*ck

About a world that burns and doesn't find the answers

I'm afraid of the reflection in a glass mirror

Because I look at myself and swear now I don't see myself

I'm afraid without her

And yet you know, I'm not afraid

Never afraid

To look inside myself, when it's dark outside

Now everything is off, but I will find the colors

And if I'm afraid I know it's normal

This life passes but doesn't disappear

But doesn't disappear

I'm afraid of wanting a child too soon

Or that it arrives but when I'm old

That I have become someone else in the meantime

Maybe that old successful singer

I'm afraid of an empty future

Of cooking for myself only

Of the TV on at night

To not feel alone at home

And yet you know, I'm not afraid

Never afraid

To look inside myself, when it's dark outside

Now everything is off, but I will find the colors

And if I'm afraid I know it's normal

This life passes but doesn't disappear

Never afraid

To look inside myself, when it's dark outside

Now everything is off but I will find the colors

And if I'm afraid I know it's normal

This life passes but, my friend, doesn't disappear

SONG MEANING

Italian singer-songwriter Ultimo turns raw anxiety into poetry in Paura Mai ("Never Afraid"). He pours out a catalogue of relatable worries: time slipping away, friendships fading, a mother’s silent tears, even the unsettling moment when the mirror shows a stranger’s face. The verses read like midnight confessions, touching on fears of parenthood, loneliness, and an uncertain future—all set against a world that seems to laugh from the mountaintops while everything burns below.

But the refrain is pure resolve. Ultimo admits that the darkness outside can be overwhelming, yet he insists he is never afraid to look within. By embracing self-reflection, he believes he will "find the colors" that light his path. The message is clear: feeling fear is normal, but it does not have the last word. Life may pass quickly, but it never truly disappears—there is always room to repaint the canvas with hope and courage.
