About Mi Tengo

"Mi tengo" / "Me quedo" (I keep) is a song recorded by Italian singer Laura Pausini for her studio album Inedito. The song, produced by Paolo Carta, was written by Laura Pausini and Niccolò Agliardi, with the music being composed by Niccolò Agliardi, Matteo Bassi and Simone Bertolotti. The song was also recorded in a Spanish-language version, titled "Me quedo", but was not released as a single from the Spanish-language version of the album, Inédito. The song shows a very mature sense of love, a way to understand how many times the end of a story is the most correct path to take. The separation, while it hurts, leaves in the mind the signs of a past happiness. There are stories that end up without guilt or guilty, but only because it necessarily takes a different route.

Mi tengo molto più di quel che perdo
Io lascio andare te, non il ricordo
Mi tengo gli anni quelli dell'incanto
Verranno gli altri poi te li racconto

Perché con te ho imparato che felici
Lo si è senza un miracolo
Con te guardare dalla stessa parte
Era già quello uno spettacolo
E poi ho capito che dorme di meno
Chi ama un po' di più

Mi tengo certi brividi alla schiena
Perché fermarli non ne val la pena
Mi tengo pure una ferita aperta
Di aver ragione cosa me ne importa?

Perché non c'è una colpa da cercare
Se non c'è nessun colpevole
C'è solo un'altra strada da trovare
Non c'è il forte e non il debole
Ma mentre tu dormivi io spiavo il cielo

Vedevo stelle alzarsi
Sulle punte e puntarle su te
Fino a riempire la stanza
Della luce più bella che c'è
Fino a riempire la vita della luce più bella
Mi tengo le cose che hai detto alla porta
La fitta sul petto e i fiori di carta

Perché non c'è una colpa, c'è una fine
E in mezzo il bene che rimane

Mi tengo la tua rabbia, se ti pare
La mia, ti giuro, l'ho lasciata andare
Se siamo stati parte di uno sbaglio
Ma a volte anche qualcosa di un po' meglio
