Resta In Ascolto
Laura Pausini Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
È una vita che
Non ti chiamo o chiami me, eh
Può succedere
Ma nessun'altro chiamai amore, amore
Io da allora nessuno trovai
Che assomigliasse a te
Resta in ascolto che c'è un messaggio per te
E dimmi se ci sei
Perché ti conosco e so bene che ormai per te
Alternativa a me non c'è, non c'è
Per te non c'è
Ma sarebbe una bugia mia
Dirti adesso che, no, no, no
Non ho avuto compagnia, ah
Sono uguale a te
Io sopra ogni bocca cercai il tuo nome, il tuo nome
Ho aspettato anche troppo e lo sai
Che ho cancellato te
Ho allontanato te dal cuore
Resta in ascolto che c'è un messaggio per te
E dimmi se ci sei
Perché ti conosco e il mio posto non è con te
Dipendo già da me
Rimpiangerai cose di noi
Che hai perso per sempre ormai
Oh, oh no
Tu resta in ascolto perché ormai per te
Alternativa a me non c'è, non c'è
Alternativa a me, non c'è
Ogni tanto penso a te
Può succedere
The song "Resta In Ascolto" by Laura Pausini is an emotional ballad about a past love. In the first verse, the singer admits that she occasionally thinks about her former partner, even though they haven't spoken in a long time. She acknowledges that she might never find someone as special as them, and nobody else could be called "amore." She hasn't found anybody who resembles the person she was with, and nobody else has made a similar impression on her heart.
In the chorus, the singer sends a message to her ex-love, asking them to listen carefully. She knows that there is no alternative to her, and she wants to make sure that her ex-partner understands that too. She is upfront and honest when she says that it would be a lie to claim that she hasn't had company since they parted ways. She's just like her ex, seeking their name above every other, but she has also tried to forget them and pushed their memory away from her heart.

Ogni tanto penso a te
Sometimes I think of you
È una vita che non ti chiamo o chiami me
It's been a lifetime since we called each other
Può succedere
It can happen
Ma nessun'altro chiamai amore, amore
But I called no one else my love, my love
Io da allora nessuno trovai
Since then, I found no one
Che assomigliasse a te
Who resembled you
Che assomigliasse a me
Who resembled me
Nel cuore
In my heart
Resta in ascolto
Listen carefully
Che c'è un messaggio per te
There's a message for you
E dimmi se ci sei
And tell me if you're there
Perchè ti conosco e so bene che ormai per te
Because I know you well and by now I know for you
Alternativa a me non c'è, non c'è per te non c'è
There's no alternative to me, not for you
Ma sarebbe una bugia mia
But it would be a lie of mine
Dirti adesso che non ho avuto compagnia
To tell you now that I haven't had company
Sono uguale a te
I'm just like you
Io sopra ogni bocca
I, above every mouth
Cercai il tuo nome, il tuo nome
Searched for your name, your name
Ho aspettato anche troppo e lo sai
I waited for too long and you know it
Che ho cancellato te
That I erased you
Ho allontanato te
That I pushed you away
Dal cuore
From my heart
Resta in ascolto
Listen carefully
Che c'è un messaggio per te
There's a message for you
E dimmi se ci sei
And tell me if you're there
Perchè ti conosco e il mio posto non è con te
Because I know you well and my place isn't with you
Dipendo già da me
I already depend on myself
Rimpiangerai cose di noi
You'll regret things about us
Che hai perso per sempre ormai
That you've lost forever now
Tu resta in ascolto perchè ormai
You listen carefully because by now
Per te alternativa a me non c'è, non c'è
There's no alternative to me, not for you
Alternativa a me, non c'è
There's no alternative to me
Ogni tanto penso a te
Sometimes I think of you
Può succedere
It can happen

Tanto en español o italiano el mensaje es el mismo que Laura Pausini transmite . Sin duda alguna . Está canción me ha dado las fuerzas para seguir en el amor siempre . Y no permitir que alguien te haga daño nuevamente . Estupenda canción .

Sicuramente una delle più belle canzoni di Laura Pausini. E sicuramente segna un netto distacco rispetto al passato, una crescita notevole. Resta in ascolto resta senza dubbio il suo miglior album, magari tornassero quei tempi!
