Solo Cielo Lyrics in English by Gianluca Grignani

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Solo Cielo by Gianluca Grignani from Italian to English.
Dio non vive qui con me
God doesn't live here with me
Ma dovevo immaginarmelo
But I should have imagined it
È probabile che sia
It's likely that it is
Un bisogno della mente mia
A need of my mind
E non l'ho incontrato lì
And I haven't met him there
Nelle strade in cui cammino io
In the streets where I walk
Come posso credere, io no
How can I believe, not me
Che Dio viva qui con me
That God lives here with me
Io credo che sia solo cielo
I believe it's only sky
Quello che vedo lassù
What I see up there
Nessun Dio, niente mistero
No God, no mystery
Solo cielo e niente più
Only sky and nothing more
Eppure oltre al tempo
Yet beyond time
Qualcos'altro ci sarà
Something else there will be
Non voglio immaginare
I don't want to imagine
Tutto qua
Just this
Mi volevano vendere
They wanted to sell me
Un seminterrato in cielo
A basement in heaven
Ma non compro l'aldilà io no
But I don't buy the afterlife, not me
Ora voglio verità
Now I want truth
Perché credo che sia solo cielo
Because I believe it's only sky
Quello che vedo lassù
What I see up there
Nessun Dio, niente mistero
No God, no mystery
Solo cielo e niente più
Only sky and nothing more
Eppure oltre al tempo
Yet beyond time
Qualcos'altro ci sarà
Something else there will be
Non voglio immaginare
I don't want to imagine
Tutto qua
Just this

Did you like this lyrics translation?

aldilà — afterlife / beyond

Aldilà literally translates to "beyond" or "the afterlife." It's a profound and thought-provoking word that isn't commonly found in everyday conversation or many pop songs.

In "Solo Cielo," Grignani uses aldilà to question conventional beliefs about what comes after life. He sings, "Ma non compro l'aldilà io no / Ora voglio verità" (But I don't buy the afterlife, no / Now I want truth), expressing a desire for genuine understanding rather than accepting pre-packaged spiritual concepts. This makes it a very engaging and unique word in the context of the song's philosophical theme.
