Il Mondo Prima Di Te Lyrics in English Annalisa

Home / Lyrics Translation / Annalisa / Il Mondo Prima Di Te

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Il Mondo Prima Di Te by Annalisa from Italian to English.

One day we'll understand who we are without saying anything

And it'll seem normal

To imagine the world choosing to spin

Around another sun

It's a house without walls

To build over time, to build from nothing

Like a flower down to its roots

It's my gift for you to water and let grow

And we're cliffs over the sea

From the highest point we learn to fly

Then we come back down

Down dangerous slopes

Defenseless

We come back down

To light us up like summer

That now shines

What was the world like before you?

One day we'll understand who we are without saying anything

Nothing special

And then we'll take off our clothes

So we can fly closer to the sun

In a house without walls

To build over time

To build from nothing

We're flowers

We're two roots

That split to start growing again

And we're cliffs over the sea

From the highest point we learn to fly

Then we come back down

Down dangerous slopes

Defenseless

We come back down

To light us up like summer

That now shines

What was the world like before you?

Bridge

Now and forever I ask you to come in

To the last party and into my first love

Then we come back down

Down dangerous slopes

Defenseless

We come back down

To light us up like summer

That now shines

What was the world like before you?

SONG MEANING

Il Mondo Prima Di Te invites us on a poetic road trip where love flips the horizon upside-down. Annalisa sings of two people who can read each other’s souls in silence, then decide to build a “house without walls” — an open space where possibilities replace boundaries. Mountains plunge into the sea, flowers spring from nothing, and the lovers learn to fly from the highest peak, daring to get close to the sun. Each image shows how a relationship can dismantle the familiar world and replace it with one vibrant, fearless, and alive.

The recurring question “Com’era il mondo prima di te?” (What was the world before you?) captures the heart of the song. Before this love, life was ordinary; now it is an endless summer that shines even after risky descents. By accepting vulnerability and shedding their “clothes,” the pair dive into a shared adventure where every fall is followed by light. The track celebrates love as creative power — something that builds, uproots, and re-roots, turning the mundane into the miraculous.
