Home / Lyrics Translation / Ermal Meta / Non Mi Avete Fatto Niente

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Non Mi Avete Fatto Niente by Ermal Meta from Italian to English.

In Cairo they don't know what time it is now

The sun on the Rambla today isn't the same

In France there's a concert

People are having fun

Someone sings loud

Someone screams for death

In London it always rains but today it doesn't hurt

The sky doesn't give a break even to a funeral

In Nice the sea is red with fires and shame

With people on the asphalt and blood in the sewer

And this huge body we call Earth

Wounded in its organs from Asia to England

Galaxies of people scattered in space

But the most important is the space of a hug

Of mothers without kids, of kids without fathers

Of faces lit up like walls without paintings

Minutes of silence broken by one voice

You didn't hurt me

You didn't take anything from me

This is my life moving on

Beyond everything, beyond people

You didn't hurt me

You got nothing

Because everything goes beyond your useless wars

Some make the sign of the cross

And some pray on carpets

Churches and mosques

The Imam and every priest

Separate doors of the same house

Billions of people hoping for something

Arms without hands

Faces without names

Let's swap our skin

Deep down we're human

Because our life isn't a point of view

And there's no pacifist bomb

You didn't hurt me

You didn't take anything from me

This is my life moving on

Beyond everything, beyond people

You didn't hurt me

You got nothing

Because everything goes beyond your useless wars

Your useless wars

Skyscrapers will fall

And the subways

The walls of conflict raised for bread

But against every terror that blocks the path

The world gets back up

With a child's smile

You didn't hurt me

You got nothing

Because everything goes beyond your useless wars

You didn't hurt me

Your useless wars

You didn't take anything from me

Your useless wars

You didn't hurt me

Your useless wars

You got nothing

Your useless wars

I'm aware that nothing comes back anymore

Happiness was flying

Like a bubble flies away

SONG MEANING

Non Mi Avete Fatto Niente takes us on a rapid world tour: Cairo, Barcelona’s Rambla, Paris, London, Nice. Each city hides a recent scar from terrorism, yet the singers refuse to let fear rewrite their story. Every tragic postcard is followed by the bold refrain “You haven’t done anything to me.” The message is clear: violence may wound streets and hearts, but it cannot steal our voice, our laughter, or our will to keep moving forward.

Beyond listing tragedies, the song turns into a rallying cry for unity. It reminds us that churches, mosques, skyscrapers, and metro tunnels may fall, but humanity rises again in the small space of a hug and the smile of a child. Religious symbols, political borders, and “us versus them” walls lose meaning when we remember we all share the same fragile planet. The lesson? Terror’s goal is to divide, yet our answer can be louder: life goes on, hope goes on, and love – not war – will always have the last word.
