Il Re Del Mondo Lyrics

Strano come il rombo degli aerei
da caccia un tempo,
stonasse con il ritmo delle piante
al sole sui balconi...
e poi silenzio... e poi, lontano
il tuono dei cannoni; a freddo...
e dalle radio dei segnali in codice.
Un giorno in cielo, fuochi di Bengala...
Ia Pace ritornò
ma il Re del Mondo,
ci tiene prigioniero il Cuore.
Nei vestiti bianchi a ruota...
Echi delle Danze Sufi...
Nelle metro giapponesi, oggi,
macchine d'Ossigeno.
Più diventa tutto inutile
e più credi che sia vero
e il giorno della Fine
non ti servirà l'Inglese.
...E sulle Biciclette verso Casa,
la Vita ci sfiorò
ma il Re del Mondo
ci tiene prigioniero il Cuore.

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
