Hey Dio Lyrics in English Nek

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Hey Dio by Nek from Italian to English.
Hey God
I've got something to ask you too
What's this wave of rage
That then turns into madness
That forces us to stay hidden
To avoid its wake
Of this time that by now
Is the result of us
Hey God
I'd like to know too
If this sick world
Can still be mine
And if the tomorrow that's coming
Is even worse than this
But deep down you know what
You're always right
That we need love
That's all I know
For a better future
For everything I've got
To start over and find a conscience again
To rip this indifference to pieces with words
Hey God
Let me say that here
Only hate makes the news
In every damn news show
There's not even a trace of that respect, the fact
Is that it seems okay like this
But deep down you know what
You're always right
That we need love
That's all I know
For a better future
For everything I've got
To start over and find a conscience again
To rip this indifference to pieces with words
And after all you know
That I'm the same as ever
That I could never sit still
In front of a heap of nothing
Somewhere there's
Someone who thinks like me
That we need love
That's all I know
For a better future
For everything I've got
And to feel more alive
I want to start from here
Love is the real reason
To be freer

SONG MEANING

In “Hey Dio,” Nek turns his eyes to the sky and fires off a heartfelt questionnaire to God. Why is the world so flooded with anger? Why do TV screens headline only hate? Over pulsing pop-rock guitars, he confesses his fear that tomorrow might look even darker than today, yet he refuses to give in. The singer’s voice becomes a mirror of our own doubts, echoing every time we feel powerless in the face of global chaos.

The answer Nek keeps circling back to is simple yet revolutionary: “c'è bisogno d'amore”“we need love.” He invites us to start from scratch, rebuild our conscience, and tear indifference apart with words of compassion. By the end of the song, the plea morphs into a rallying cry: love is not only the cure for a “sick world,” it is also the key to feeling truly alive and free.
