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.
