The Flossy Flossy

Keeping it “on the real” the best I can.

Non C’è

I have mixed opinions toward this song: I love it and I dislike it. It’s a typical 1990s ballad, but once you get past the outdatedness of it, the melody is very likable and it’s got one of the best bridges I have heard, I would even dare say.
Lyrically, while I can relate to the character, I find her portrayal (if you can call it that) rather terrible: determined, but all for the wrong reasons which in the end only makes her seem desperate, clingy, and over the top. Talk about whipping a dead horse, ‘eh? It’s not sexy or charming at all, and there is no pleasure in her obsession. She is everything I don’t want to be.

But anyway, I will have you make up your own mind about this song by Laura Pausini:

Testo Italiano

Tu non rispondi più al telefono
E aprendi al filo ogni speranza mia
Io non avrei creduto mai di poter
Perder la testa per te

All’improvviso sei fuggito via
Lasciando il vuoto in questa vita mia
Senza risposte ai miei perché adesso
Cosa mi resta di te

Non c’è, non c’è il profumo della tua pelle
Non c’è il respiro di te sul viso
Non c’è la tua boca di fragola
Non c’è il dolce miele dei tuoi capelli

Non c’è che il veleno di te sul cuore
Non c’è via d’uscita per questo amore
Non c’è, non c’è vita per me, più
Non c’è, non c’è altra ragione che mi
Liberi l’anima

Incatenata a notte di follia
Anche in prigione me ne andrai per te
Solo una vita non basta
Per me

E anche l’estate ha le sue nuvole
E tu sei l’uragano contro me
Strappando i sogni nei giorni miei te ne sei
Andato di fretta perché

Se esiste un Dio no può scordarsi di me anche se
Fra lui e me c’è un cielo nero nero senza fine
Lo pregherò, lo cercherò e lo giuro ti troverò
Dovessi entrare in altre dieci cento mille vita e

In questa vita buia senza di te sento che
Ormai per me sei diventato l’unica ragione
Se c’è un confine nell’amore giuro lo passerò
E nell’immenso vuoto di quei giorni senza fine
Ti amerò

Come la prima volta a casa tua
Ogni tuo gesto mi portava via
Sentivo perdermi dentro
Di te…

English lyrics

You no longer answer the phone
And you hang all my hopes on a thread
I never thought that I would
Lose my mind over you

You fled so suddenly
Leaving a void in this life of mine
Without answers to my why’s, now
Things of you remain with me

It is not here, it is not here, the scent of your skin
It is not here, the feel of your breath against my face
It is not here, your strawberry mouth
It is not here, the sweet honey of your hair

It is not here, the poison in your heart
There is no way out for this love
There is no, there is no life for me any longer
There is no, there is no other reason which
Sets my soul free

Chained to a night of madness
I would even go to prison for you
Only one life is not enough
For me

And even summer has its clouds
And you are the hurricane coming towards me
Tearing up the dreams in my days
You went away in such a hurry, why?

If there exists a god, he cannot forget me even if
There is an endless black black sky between us
I will beg, I will look for and I swear I will find you
If I must, I will live tens, hundreds, thousands of lives to do it

In this gloomy life without you I feel that
You have now become the sole reason
If love has a border I swear I will cross it
And in the immense void of those endless days
I will love you

Like the first time at your house
Every single gesture you made carried me away
I felt myself becoming lost inside
In you…
