Dall'alba Al Tramonto Lyrics in English Ermal Meta

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Dall'alba Al Tramonto by Ermal Meta from Italian to English.
They say the world
Spins only the other way
They say sooner or later
It finds the right direction again
They say that good
Leaves marks on your face
They say the wolf loses everything
Except the vice
They say there are too many of us on Earth now
That by talking loud you can't hear the war anymore
They say you can't trust anybody
While breath goes by
Life goes by
And everything goes by
I called you love
In a foreign language
And you understood me because
No translation's needed
Look at the sunrise
Right on the second
Love me as if
It were the last day
We'll move the world
I trust you
Rolling together
Only if you trust me
Only if you trust me
They say whoever loves you
Often has a caress
Closed in one hand
And a fist ready in the pocket
They say all hearts keep time together
And when they don't look for each other they still find each other
I call you love
In a foreign language
You understand me because
No translation's needed
Look at the sunrise
Right on the second
Love me as if
It were the last day
We'll move the world
I trust you
Rolling together
Only if you trust me
Only if you trust me
Only if you trust me
Only if you trust me
If we lose each other, love
I'll know what to do
Because I almost always know
Which way the sea is
And don't be afraid
Of not coming back home
Because our home
Is where we're together
Look at the sunrise
It explodes all around us
Love me as if
As if we were already at sunset
Look at the sunrise
Right on the second
Love me as if
It were the last day
We'll move the world
I trust you
Rolling together
Only if you trust me
Only if you trust me
I trust you
Only if you trust me
Only if you trust me
I trust you

SONG MEANING

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.
