A L I Lyrics in English Irama

Home / Lyrics Translation / Irama / A L I

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song A L I by Irama from Italian to English.

I climbed the mountains, I guess you smiled

When I said I was grown-up, but no

And now that I’ve got no time, I imagine

Your tight hand grabbing me and I’ll carry you

In my eyes

And I’ll dance, I’ll be alive

And I’ll bleed if I’m hit

And I’ll forget every bruise

And I’d hug you, I know I’d want it

But the days pass

They don’t leave even a corner of sky for the stars

And in the sky they dance

They don’t look, they don’t look down

And I don’t forget

The lights come on and look like a billion

And I won’t feel them

I swear I won’t feel

Every tear I’ll curse just to tell you that I’m not afraid

And those wings, I’ll rip them off

Because wearing them is just torture

And now that I’ve got no time, I imagine

Your tight hand grabbing me and I’ll carry you

In my eyes

And I’ll dance, I’ll be alive

And I’ll bleed if I’m hit

And I’ll forget every bruise

And I’d hug you, I know I’d want it

But the days pass

They don’t leave even a corner of sky for the stars

And in the sky they dance

They don’t look, they don’t look down

And I’ll dance, I’ll be alive

And I’ll bleed if I’m hit

And I’ll forget every bruise

And I’d hug you, I know I’d want it

But the days pass

They don’t leave even a corner of sky for the stars

And in the sky they dance

They don’t look, they don’t look down

SONG MEANING

Ali means “wings” in Italian, and that single word captures the heart of Irama’s song. Imagine climbing a mountain, feeling tiny against the sky, yet picturing someone you love squeezing your hand and giving you courage. Irama sings about trying to grow up fast, wearing those symbolic wings, but realizing they can feel heavy. Instead of soaring, he is happier dancing, bleeding, laughing, and forgetting every bruise – proof that real life is messy and beautifully human.

The chorus repeats like a heartbeat: he will dance, he will bleed, and he will keep moving even when time steals every corner of the sky. Stars whirl overhead, tears threaten to fall, but Irama vows not to be afraid. By the end he decides to rip off those torturous wings; freedom, for him, comes from living on his own terms, not from forced flight. Ali is an anthem of fearless vulnerability – a reminder that we do not need perfect wings to touch the sky; we need honesty, movement, and the memory of the hands that once pulled us upward.
