La Valle Dei Re Lyrics in English Marco Mengoni

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song La Valle Dei Re by Marco Mengoni from Italian to English.
In this valley there's already
A king who sings and his queen
Betrayed by his own half
What's left isn't life
Out of my property
And this time I don't want an excuse
Out of my city
You'll see the crown's gold vanish
Rolling down to the walls
And then you'll ask me if
You're out of the valley of kings
And I don't care if
You're out of the valley of kings
And I don't care if
You're not here
You're not here
I said out of my property
And this time I don't want an excuse
Out of my city
You'll see the crown's gold vanish
Rolling down to the walls
And then you'll ask me if
You're out of the valley of kings
And I don't care if
You're out of the valley of kings
And I don't care if
You're not here
You're not here
Small words that don't matter anymore
And the usual thoughts that fill my room
The usual lies that nail my head
I'm sorry
I'm still a king
If you're outside the valley of kings
And I don't care if
You're out of the valley of kings
You're out of the valley of kings

SONG MEANING

Welcome to the mythical Valley of Kings, where Marco Mengoni reigns supreme! In this song, the Italian artist uses the image of a betrayed monarch to talk about the end of a toxic relationship. The “king” has discovered that his “queen” has been unfaithful, so he banishes her from his realm, ordering her “fuori dalla mia proprietà” and casting the crown’s gold out of the city walls. The lyrics paint a vivid scene of power, pride, and wounded honor, showing how heartbreak can feel like losing an empire—but also how reclaiming your throne can be liberating.

At its heart, La Valle dei Re is a bold anthem of self-respect. As the royal gates close, the singer refuses apologies, empty words, or recycled excuses. The repeated line “e non mi importa se” (“and I don’t care if”) highlights his new-found freedom: he will remain a king even without his former queen. By turning personal pain into a grand medieval drama, Mengoni invites listeners to put on their own crowns, set healthy boundaries, and rule their emotional kingdoms with confidence.
