Ercole Lyrics in English by Ermal Meta

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Ercole by Ermal Meta from Italian to English.
Hai capito finalmente cosa siamo noi
Have you finally understood what we are
Molto di più di quello che credevi
Much more than what you believed
Che speravo anch'io
Than what I hoped for too
E adesso che un saluto ci divide
And now that a goodbye separates us
Ognuno prende la sua strada
Everyone takes their own road
Inseguendo nuovi sogni di libertà
Chasing new dreams of freedom
Prima che inizi un altro viaggio
Before another trip begins
Voglio dirti che
I want to tell you that
Ti prometto che ti aspetterò tutta la vita
I promise I'll wait for you all my life
Ti prometto che ti penserò tutta la vita
I promise I'll think of you all my life
Ti prometto che
I promise that
Ti prometto che
I promise that
È per sempre finché non è finita
It's forever until it's over
Ho capito finalmente chi eravamo noi
I finally understood who we were
Navigatori esperti alla ricerca di felicità
Expert navigators seeking happiness
Prima che si alzi ancora il vento
Before the wind rises again
Voglio dirti che
I want to tell you that
Ti prometto che ti aspetterò tutta la vita
I promise I'll wait for you all my life
Ti prometto che ti penserò tutta la vita
I promise I'll think of you all my life
Ti prometto che
I promise that
Ti prometto che
I promise that
Per lasciarti andare non basterà una vita
A lifetime won't be enough to let you go
Ti prometto che ti aspetterò tutta la vita
I promise I'll wait for you all my life
Ti prometto che ti sentirò tutta la vita
I promise I'll feel you all my life
Io ti giuro che
I swear that
Ti prometto che
I promise that
Ti prometto che mi ritroverai tutta la vita
I promise you'll find me all your life
Qui
Here
Dove il petto fa rumore
Where the chest makes noise
Ma sei lì
But you're there
Dove io non voglio stare
Where I don't want to be
Ti prometto che ti aspetterò tutta la vita
I promise I'll wait for you all my life
Ti prometto che ti penserò tutta la vita
I promise I'll think of you all my life
Io ti giuro che
I swear that
Se fossi Ercole
If I were Hercules
A lasciarti andare farei una gran fatica
I'd struggle a lot to let you go
Mi prometti che mi aspetterai tutta la vita
Promise me you'll wait for me all my life
E che niente mai ti può distrarre dalla meta
And that nothing can ever distract you from the goal
Mi prometti che
Promise me that
Io ti giuro che
I swear that
Sarà per sempre almeno finché non è finita
It'll be forever at least until it's over
Finché non è finita
Until it's over
Per sempre finché non è finita
Forever until it's over
Finché ci sei
As long as you're here
Finché non è finita
Until it's over
Finché non è finita
Until it's over
Finché non è finita
Until it's over

Did you like this lyrics translation?

Ercole is a heartfelt anthem about unyielding devotion in the face of distance and change. As two lovers prepare to follow separate paths, the singer reaffirms time and again, “Ti prometto che…” – I promise that… – vowing to wait, think of, and feel the other “tutta la vita,” for a whole lifetime. Each chorus feels like a whispered pact that love can outlast new journeys, shifting winds, and even the passing of years.

The title invokes Hercules, the legendary symbol of strength, to reveal a touching contrast: even someone as mighty as the mythic hero would struggle to let go of such a bond. By blending epic imagery with intimate pledges, Ermal Meta turns a farewell into a promise-filled adventure where love becomes both compass and anchor. In the end, “per sempre finché non è finita” – forever until it’s over – captures the song’s core truth: real love fights on, refusing to admit an ending until none is left possible.
