"Una storia che vale" on YouTube

Both versions were transmitted on the radio, with two videoclips being recorded and released.

During the promotion of Pausini's 2003 English language album, a list of the songs that would be present on that album was leaked. An English version of Una storia che vale, named "Can't Turn Back Time" is said to exist, but has never been released by Pausini in any album.

The music video

edit

The music video (in Italian and Spanish), was directed by Daniele Persica and shot during the night in the outskirts of Rome and during the day at one of the Leonardo da Vinci-Fiumicino Airport terminals.[1]

The music videos of Una storia che vale and Dos historias iguales were inserted on the Live 2001-2002 World Tour, along with the Making of the video.

The video begins with Pausini at the airport, waiting for someone. As the first chorus ends, a car is shown leaving a parking lot. Pausini is shown again at the airport. Then, a cut happens and Pausini is shown once more, but now driving the car that left the parking lot before. As the song progresses, a car chase between Pausini and another driver is shown, with Pausini winning at the end and smiling at the camera.
