Ercole Lyrics in English Ermal Meta

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Ercole by Ermal Meta from Italian to English.
Have you finally understood what we are
Much more than what you believed
Than what I hoped for too
And now that a goodbye separates us
Everyone takes their own road
Chasing new dreams of freedom
Before another trip begins
I want to tell you that
I promise I'll wait for you all my life
I promise I'll think of you all my life
I promise that
I promise that
It's forever until it's over
I finally understood who we were
Expert navigators seeking happiness
Before the wind rises again
I want to tell you that
I promise I'll wait for you all my life
I promise I'll think of you all my life
I promise that
I promise that
A lifetime won't be enough to let you go
I promise I'll wait for you all my life
I promise I'll feel you all my life
I swear that
I promise that
I promise you'll find me all your life
Here
Where the chest makes noise
But you're there
Where I don't want to be
I promise I'll wait for you all my life
I promise I'll think of you all my life
I swear that
If I were Hercules
I'd struggle a lot to let you go
Promise me you'll wait for me all my life
And that nothing can ever distract you from the goal
Promise me that
I swear that
It'll be forever at least until it's over
Until it's over
Forever until it's over
As long as you're here
Until it's over
Until it's over
Until it's over

SONG MEANING

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.
