Mondo Lyrics in English Cesare Cremonini

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Mondo by Cesare Cremonini from Italian to English.
I saw a place I like, it's called World
I walk in it, I breathe it, my life's always around
The more I look at it, the more I sing it, the more I meet it
The more it pushes me to walk
Like a stray cat
But this is the place I like, it's called World
Men lost in the streets
Women sold cheap
Kids raised in one night
Like strawberries in a forest
The more I look at them, the more I sing them, the more I listen to them
The more they convince me life's woodworm is our pride
But this is the place I like, it's called World
Yes, this is the place I like
hidden by the fog
mercy
we love England
We believe in eternity
I saw a place I like, it's called World
Where I live there's no peace but life's always around
The more I look at myself, the more I'm wrong, the more I notice that
Where the roads end that's right where the day is born
But this is the place I like, it's called World
Yes, this is the place I like
hidden by the fog
mercy
we love England
We live in eternity
And it spins and spins and never stops to wait
It rises and then sets like a dolphin from the sea
It moves its orbit light and irregular
It spreads dreams and a good beat to dance to
World falls, World bread, World to inhabit
World that saves us, World house to renovate
Everything's false, everything's true, everything's clear, everything's dark
This is the place I like on this side and beyond the wall
hidden by the fog
mercy
we love England
We live in eternity
hidden by the fog
mercy
we love England
we love England
I saw a place I like
I saw a place I like
I saw a place I like
I saw a place I like, it's called
And it spins and spins and never stops to wait
It rises and then sets like a dolphin from the sea
It spins and spins and never stops to wait
It rises and then sets like a dolphin from the sea
It spins and spins and never stops to wait

SONG MEANING

Have you ever gazed at the planet around you and felt both dazzled and puzzled? In “Mondo,” Italian singer-songwriter Cesare Cremonini wanders through the world like a curious street cat, inhaling its sights, sounds, and contradictions. He loves this place he calls Mondo even while noticing its darker corners – men lost on the streets, women treated cheaply, children forced to grow overnight. The track swirls with vivid images: fog-hidden towns, dreams swirling in orbit, sunrise leaping like a dolphin from the sea. With a playful groove and a catchy refrain, Cremonini reminds us that life’s rhythm keeps turning, never pausing to wait for anyone.

At its core, the song celebrates the beauty of imperfection. Mondo is a house that needs renovating, a loaf of bread that feeds us, a stage for both sadness and dance. Pride might gnaw at us, but courage and curiosity push us forward. By the final chorus, we are invited to embrace every shade of the world – the clear and the obscure, the true and the false – and keep moving to its irresistible beat.
