Tra Te E Il Mare Lyrics in English Laura Pausini

“Tra Te e il Mare” paints a vivid picture of a woman caught between two powerful forces: the all-consuming love she feels for someone who keeps leaving and the vast, beckoning sea that symbolizes distance, uncertainty, and freedom. Laura Pausini’s narrator admits she once lived off the “breaths” her lover left behind, waiting faithfully while he was away. Yet with every broken promise of “this is the last time I go,” her patience thins and her fear grows, until she realizes she can no longer split herself “between you and the sea.”

The song becomes an anthem of self-respect and decisive courage. Faced with endless goodbyes, she draws a bold line: “Either you come back for good, or you stay away.” Rather than remain stuck in limbo, she chooses to say goodbye, preferring the pain of separation to the slow erosion of hope. The crashing waves in the lyrics echo her emotional storm, but they also hint at renewal—by embracing her own growth, she proves that even the deepest love must make room for dignity and dreams.
