About In Assenza di Te

"In assenza di te" (English: In absence of you) is a pop song by Italian singer Laura Pausini off her fourth album, La mia risposta. "En ausencia de ti" is its Spanish-language adaptation. The song was released in France in June 2003. The English version, "It's not Goodbye" originated all of the other versions, and was released in late 2003 as a single from the album From the Inside. It remains as one of the most enduring of Pausini's hits. It also helped to promote the album with the other hit-single "Un'emergenza d'amore". All of the three versions were released as singles, although only the Spanish and Italian ones had videoclips recorded. Both Spanish and Italian versions were included in Pausini's greatest hits album, E ritorno da te. Before it was released as a single, the song became famous in Brazil, where it was used as part of the soundtrack to the telenovela Pecado Capital. Later, Pausini released a special version of the single just in that country (see below). It is widely regarded as one of the most passionate pieces of music in the world.

O come un albero nudo senza te
Senza foglie e radici ormai
Abbandonata così
Per rinascere mi servi qui
Non c'è una cosa che non ricordi noi
In questa casa perduta ormai
Mentre la neve va giù

È quasi natale e tu non ci sei più
E mi manchi amore mio
Tu mi manchi come quando cerco dio
E in assenza di te
Io ti vorrei per dirti che
Tu mi manchi amore mio
Il dolore è forte come un lungo addio

E l'assenza di te
È un vuoto dentro me
Perchè di noi
È rimasta l'anima
Ogni piega, ogni pagina
Se chiudo gli occhi sei qui
Che mi abbracci di nuovo così

E vedo noi stretti dentro noi
Legati per non slegarsi mai
In ogni lacrima tu sarai per non dimenticarti mai
E mi manchi amore mio
Così tanto che ogni giorno muoio anchi'io
Ho bisogno di te
Di averti qui per dirti che

Tu mi manchi amore mio
Il dolore è freddo come un lungo addio
E in assenza di te
Il vuoto è dentro me

Tu mi manchi amore mio
E mi manchi come quando cedo dio
Ho bisogno di te
Di averti qui per dirti che

E mi manchi amore mio
Così tanto che ogni giorno muoio anchi'io
E in assenza di te
Il vuoto è dentro me

Grido il bisogno di te
Perché non c'è più vita in me
Vivo in assenza, in assenza di te
