Terra Degli Uomini Lyrics in English Jovanotti

Home / Lyrics Translation / Jovanotti / Terra Degli Uomini

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Terra Degli Uomini by Jovanotti from Italian to English.

And sometimes the strongmen slump

They forget every lesson

You know what I mean when I say

That there's a solution to everything

And all the lights switch on

Billions of pixels ignite

They move to the beat of a heartbeat

Of a heartbeat

And under my feet there's a pulse

And above my head there's the sky

And I live right in the middle

In the land of men

Where the music plays

And technique rules

And I like plastic

Practice is tested

And the tear forms

Where the music plays

And the future unrolls

And love gets made

It's always the best who leave

They leave us without instructions

To reprogram the traffic lights

Looking for holy reasons

And there's always a big sun to surprise us

In the referees' indifference

Who stand there reading the monitors

With impassive faces

And under my feet there's an abyss

And above my head I've got angels

And here we are right in the middle

In the land of men

Where the music plays

Friendship is born

Where everything's possible

Where a dream comes alive

Let the guitar be electric

And let the harmonics ring

Where the willows laugh

Where comedians cry

And strength gets amplified

And the blood mixes

And love's a trap

Not always though

Sometimes it frees you

And you feel like a fairy tale

And it seems that all of life isn't

Just rhetoric, but

Purest substance

That feeds your cells

And makes you want to live

To the last moment

Where the music plays

In the land of men

Where you even find a place for whoever

Smiles at you from a corner

To the last moment

SONG MEANING

Welcome to the Terra degli Uomini – the Land of Men, where Jovanotti places us right in the vibrant middle of everything: beneath our feet a throbbing heartbeat, above our heads an open sky of possibilities. The song paints a colorful world where music blasts, technology sparks, and billions of pixels dance to one universal rhythm. It is a celebration of human inventiveness and contradiction: plastic and poetry, experiment and emotion, friendship born in a crowded street and dreams that suddenly feel populated and real.

Yet this land is not perfect. Heroes can stumble, loved ones depart too soon, and we are left “to reprogram the traffic lights” while impassive referees watch from their screens. Still, Jovanotti insists that hope glows like a “big sun” that keeps surprising us. Love may be a trap, but sometimes it frees you and turns life into a fairytale, reminding you that existence is not empty rhetoric but “pure substance” that feeds every cell. His message is simple and exhilarating: keep dancing, keep loving, keep living – right up to “l’ultimo attimo,” the very last second.
