Traduzione in italiano:
Non farlo notare

Se sta diventando più difficile affrontare ogni giorno,
non farlo notare, non farlo notare.
Anche se è più difficile accettare ciò che dicono,
lascia andare, lascia andare.

E se ti fa male quando menzionano il mio nome,
di di non conoscermi.
E se ti giova quando dicono che son da biasimare,
afferma che non mi possiedi.

Anche se stai
prendendo la via duscita agevole,
tienilo dentro di te.
Non cedere.
Non dirgli niente.
Non farlo,
non farlo notare.

Anche se sai che è la cosa sbagliata da dire,
rispondi che non te ne cura, rispondi che non te ne cura.
Anche se vuoi credere che ci sia una via,
non ci saro', non ci saro'.

Ma se sorridi quando menzionano il mio nome,
non ti conosceranno mai.
E se ridi quando dicono che son da biasimare,
non ti possederanno mai.

Anche se senti che non hai nulla da nascondere,
tienilo dentro di te.
Non cedere.
Non dirgli niente.
Non farlo,
non farlo notare.

Alan Parsons is a genius. Some of the most meaningful and dynamic I've ever listened to. I'm 60 now and have loved his music for a long time. Life lessons to be learned from listening to any and all of his music. Love it!!

Loved this song since I was a young teenager. Now I'm 60 and this song is still so beautiful In 2020. Funny to think i had all this great music on vinyl....Good old days for sure.

My beautiful Oskar...This composition brings you right back into my arms. How much I miss you. (Oskar was my beautiful stray. He was the best being I have ever known, better than any human. Had you been honored to known him too, you would agree.)

The Alan Parsons project has made brilliant music. Tight music, great ballads and a very unique sound. Great singers also used.

[billknox]

Eric Woolfson wrote this masterpiece and really should get as much recognition as Parsons - Woolfson also sang lead on many Parson songs.
Dave Townsend sang lead on this one. Allen Parsons was a master at finding the right voice for the right song Brilliant

This was my anthem for years, and even with the Lord in my life, it's still hard to open up.

[edsnyder]

The lyrics unbelievable. The instruments from A to Z are mind blowing. Listen again.

This song has a lot of special meaning to me, I first heard it when I was in middle school and was going through a lot of bullying and long story short: I was feeling very depressed and had even contemplated suicide. Those first few words really struck me: "If it's getting harder to face every day. don't let it show, don't let it show,  though it's getting harder to take what they say, just let it go, just let it go." It got me through that dark time in my life and now I listen to this song anytime I'm having a bad day and it reminds me "don't let it show" because I'm gonna be okay.

it's sad you almost never hear Alan Parsons on the radio anymore

[mel]

Along with "Old and Wise", this song is one of the most introspective ever written. I want both songs played at my wake--sums up my life perfectly.

[Kenny-iild]

Got to see the Alan Parsons project open for Yes at winery in Washington State ❤ wonderful show 🙋👍

[victoriachamness]

I used to listen to this song so often when it came out. It had so much meaning to my life at that time.

I ran into it again yesterday after I had possibly torn apart the best relationship I will ever know. I just hope that this first real trial of our lives can be mended. I pray it can be.

My brother passed away today and I had some warning he would. A few days before I was listening to some old songs from when we were young and came across this song. I was there in the room, with his sons, when he died. Though I believe he is with God, the words from this song came to my mind while I was with "his boys." It all was like my brother Phil was sending a message to stay strong for his sons...and don't let the heartbreak show.

[annavandeelen]

I feel this song into the depths of my soul 🖤🤲 beautiful song forever beautiful

"Don't Let It Show"

If it's getting harder to face every day,
Don't let it show, don't let it show.
Though it's getting harder to take what they say,
Just let it go, just let it go...

And if it hurts when they mention my name,
Say you don't know me...
And if it helps when they say I'm to blame,
Say you don't owe me...

Even if it's taking the easy way out,
Keep it inside of you.
Don't give in.
Don't tell them anything.
Don't let it,
Don't let it show.

Even though you know it's the wrong thing to say,
Say you don't care, say you don't care.
Even if you want to believe there's a way,
I won't be there...I won't be there...

But if you smile when they mention my name,
They'll never know you.
And if you laugh when they say I'm to blame,
They'll never own you.

Even if you feel you've got nothing to hide,
Keep it inside of you.
Don't give in,
Don't tell them anything.
Don't let it-
Don't let it show.
