Mai
Josh Groban Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Non guardarmi
Non cercare di spiegare
Lo sapevo
Che finiva prima o poi
E solo ieri
Che dicevi "quanto ti amo"
Ma era soltanto
Uno stato di agonia

Non see'e cosa
Piu illusoria dell'amore
Non credi mai che
Possa capitare a te
Di ritrovarti
Sopra un filo di speranza
Per poi crollare
Dentro questa oscurita

Mai credero
Mai ci cadro
In queste false emozioni
Dove non see'e pieta

Mai cerchero
La verita dentro un sogno
Il nostro sogno

Solo adesso
Sembri cosi preoccupata
Si direbe
Che ora soffri piu di me
Ma non e vero
Non mi hai mai nemmeno amato
Altrimenti
Non andresti via cosi

Mai credero
Mai ci cadro
In queste false emozioni
Dove non see'e pieta
Mai cerchero




La verita dentro un sogno
Ma quale sogno!

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Mai by Josh Groban convey a sense of sadness and disappointment as the singer comes to terms with the end of a relationship that was built on false emotions and illusions. The song starts with the singer telling their partner not to look at them or try to explain as they already knew that the relationship would come to an end eventually. This sentiment is underlined by the fact that just the day before, the partner had professed their love, but the singer characterizes it as a state of agony or pain.


The second verse delves deeper into the theme of illusory love and how it can be cruel and merciless, leaving one on the brink of hopelessness. The singer likens the feeling to standing on a thin thread of hope, only to fall into darkness in the end. The final verse takes a turn as the singer appears to confront their partner, saying that they seem even more worried than the singer is. However, the singer believes that the partner never truly loved them as they would not have left if they did.


Overall, Mai is a poignant reflection on the nature of love and how it can be deceiving and ultimately lead to heartbreak.

Non guardarmi
Do not look at me


Non cercare di spiegare
Do not try to explain


Lo sapevo
I knew it


Che finiva prima o poi
It would end sooner or later


E solo ieri
And just yesterday


Che dicevi 'quanto ti amo'
That you were saying 'how much you love me'


Ma era soltanto
But it was only


Uno stato di agonia
A state of agony


Non see'e cosa
There is nothing


Piu illusoria dell'amore
More illusory than love


Non credi mai che
You never believe that


Possa capitare a te
It could happen to you


Di ritrovarti
To find yourself


Sopra un filo di speranza
On a thread of hope


Per poi crollare
Only to collapse


Dentro questa oscurita
Within this darkness


Mai credero
I will never believe


Mai ci cadro
I will never fall for it


In queste false emozioni
In these false emotions


Dove non see'e pieta
Where there is no mercy


Mai cerchero
I will never search


La verita dentro un sogno
For truth within a dream


Il nostro sogno
Our dream


Solo adesso
Only now


Sembri cosi preoccupata
You seem so worried


Si direbe
One would say


Che ora soffri piu di me
That you suffer more than me


Ma non e vero
But it is not true


Non mi hai mai nemmeno amato
You never even loved me


Altrimenti
Otherwise


Non andresti via cosi
You would not leave like this


Ma quale sogno!
But what a dream!
