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

I'm scared life will pass and I won't be able to

Live the way I'd like or how I want

I'm scared to feel free yet caged

That what you lose along the way never comes back

I'm scared a friend someday won't answer

The same one I hugged tight during a bender

I'm scared of the silence in the room

Of you loving me and it not being enough anymore

Enough

I'm scared my mother one November day

Looks at me crying but without saying a word

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

About a world that's burning and can't find answers

I'm scared of the reflection in a glass mirror

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

I'm scared without her

And yet you know, I'm not afraid

Afraid, never

To look inside myself when it's dark outside

Now everything's off, but I'll find the colors

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

This life passes but doesn't disappear

Doesn't disappear

I'm scared of wanting a kid too soon

Or that it comes when I'm old

That I've become someone else in the meantime

Maybe that old successful singer

I'm scared of an empty future

Of cooking just for myself

Of the TV on at night

So I don't feel alone at home

And yet you know, I'm not afraid

Afraid, never

To look inside myself when it's dark outside

Now everything's off, but I'll find the colors

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

This life passes but doesn't disappear

Afraid, never

To look inside myself when it's dark outside

Now everything's off but I'll find the colors

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

This life passes but, buddy, 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.
