Alba Lyrics in English Ultimo

Home / Lyrics Translation / Ultimo / Alba

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Alba by Ultimo from Italian to English.

I love the dawn because it's like it's only mine

It relaxes me to breathe your pure air

I love the dawn because it's like it's a lie

It relaxes me just enough, but then you go away

And imagine if we were beyond our limits

If we stood next to habits

And took better care of those bruises?

We would certainly be more distant, but more similar

And we would have perennial shivers inside us

Imagine if all this were reality?

I love the dawn because often I hate my life

Walking aimlessly on this strange path

I love the dawn because it's like a healthy madness

You can understand it if you feel it and don't push it away

And imagine if everything were above our limits

And we believed in smiles like comedians

If we didn't have to talk to get to know each other

If we didn't just love our own kind?

Maybe we would only have eyes to describe each other

Because a glance, in the end, is enough to paint us

When you live a beautiful day, laugh and think of me

I listened to my silences and I shivered

Because it's you who lives inside one of my breaths

And when you live a beautiful day, laugh and think of me

All I need is this to not lose you

But imagine if all this were reality?

SONG MEANING

Imagine the sky just before sunrise, when the world is still quiet and the new day feels like a blank canvas. That magical moment is exactly what Ultimo celebrates in Alba (“Dawn”). He treats dawn as his own secret refuge: the fresh air calms him, the soft light feels like a gentle lie that hides life’s chaos, and for a precious instant everything seems possible. Through heartfelt questions—“What if we pushed beyond our limits?” “What if we cared for each other’s bruises?”—the song invites us to dream of a reality where empathy is stronger than habit, where a single glance can paint a full portrait of who we are.

Yet dawn is also bittersweet. While it offers peace, it reminds the singer of the emptiness he feels once daylight returns and the person he loves drifts away. Alba balances hope and vulnerability, showing how even a fleeting moment can spark big ideas: loving without prejudice, speaking through silence, trusting in laughter. Ultimo’s message is simple but powerful: hold on to those bright instants, think of the people you care about, and let every sunrise whisper that a kinder, braver world might be just one breath away.
