From dawn’s first blush to the glow of sunset, Ermal Meta’s “Dall’alba Al Tramonto” is a joyful rebellion against cynicism. The verses keep repeating dicono – “they say” – all the gloomy things people claim about the world: that we run in the wrong direction, that you can’t trust anyone, that love hides a fist in its pocket. Yet each gloomy rumor is answered with a brighter truth. When the lovers call each other amore in a “lingua straniera,” they understand perfectly because real connection needs no dictionary. Over a rising, anthemic melody, Meta turns sunrise into a promise: if we trust each other, we can literally “move the world.”
Trust is the secret engine of the song. The chorus repeats “Io mi fido di te… solo se ti fidi di me” – I trust you if you trust me – showing love as a two-way leap of faith. Even if we get lost, the singer knows “which way the sea is,” a poetic way of saying he can always guide them back to safety. Ultimately, the track celebrates choosing hope every single day: wake up at dawn, love as if it were your last day, and keep rolling forward together until dusk. It’s an uplifting reminder that the world may be loud with doubt, but two trusted hearts can still find perfect harmony.
