Se Avessi Un Cuore Lyrics in English Annalisa

What would change if I truly felt? Annalisa’s Se Avessi Un Cuore (‘If I Had a Heart’) spins this haunting question into a shimmering pop ballad. Throughout the song she pictures herself standing face-to-face with someone she cares about, yet she keeps repeating a single condition: “Se avessi un cuore…” The refrain becomes a bittersweet daydream where she imagines everything she could offer—protection, understanding, courage, unconditional love—if only she could unlock her own emotions. It is a poetic tug-of-war between longing to connect and the fear that her heart might be missing or broken.

Underneath the catchy melody lies a universal message: many of us hide behind emotional armor, convinced that we are “gocce in mezzo al mare” (drops in the middle of the sea) without a guiding light. Annalisa reminds us that the first step toward real intimacy is daring to feel, even when our “passi sono fragili” (steps are fragile). By the end, her repeated wish hints that the heart might already be there, waiting to be acknowledged. The song invites listeners to drop their guard, trust their feelings, and choose empathy—because the moment we do, love is no longer conditional.
