When you are not there all my senses
They tell me about you
Of your hands, of your whys
When you're not there either, you know
I look like me
And this makes me fragile more than ever
I know it well, it's not worth it
But my instinct belongs to you
And I vent, I look for a way
But alone it is useless
Can't you see that by now there is a shiver that
It moves in exact unison with you
Can't you see that you are inside me
Stably, wherever you go
When you're not there I realize that
There is no alternative to you
At the pace you give to my disorder
And I feel bad, so bad
That you're easy to hate
And I let off steam anyway
But alone it is useless
Can't you see that by now there is a shiver that
It moves in exact unison with you
Don't you also feel that you are inside me
Stably
Because no one before you
It still had the effect you have on me
It's a stronger call than me
The strongest there is
But don't you realize that I now depend on you
From your mouth that asks for me
Because you are not nor will you be habit, ever
When you are not there all my senses
They tell me about you

Abitudine translates to "habit" or "routine". It's a common word, but its use in this song is particularly poignant and powerful, making it stand out.

Nek sings, "Perché tu non sei né sarai abitudine, mai" (Because you are not, nor will you ever be a habit, never). This line beautifully expresses the depth and enduring nature of his love, emphasizing that his feelings are far from a mere routine or something taken for granted. It highlights the special, irreplaceable quality of the person he's singing about.

Have you ever missed someone so much that you don't even feel like yourself anymore? That's the powerful feeling at the heart of Nek's song "Quando Non Ci Sei." The lyrics describe a love so intense that when the person is gone, the singer feels completely lost and fragile. He sings that all of his senses only speak of her, and he realizes there is "no alternative" to her presence in his life.

This isn't just a simple case of missing someone; it's a deep, consuming dependency. The singer feels a "thrill that moves in exact unison" with his love, showing how connected they are. He admits this feeling is an instinct he can't control, a "call stronger than me." The pain of her absence is so strong that he says she's "easy to hate," highlighting the powerful and overwhelming nature of his emotions.
