The music industry is dead
But I've got a future because now I know how to make a pizza margherita 1
I've gone through the whole Netflix library
Now I want to binge-watch life
Nobody cares about influencers here
I've never liked live streams
My bad luck is asymptomatic
I've grown up like your girlfriend's leg hair
But this guy plays funky, this guy plays "tranqui" 2
Because now you can only slap me with your gloves on
Like music, between the highs and lows, infinite moments
Life is made of instants, but all bound together
And if I respect the distance
'Cause everything comes and goes
Then tell me why
I feel this crazy need
To be in the crowd, to shout like in a stadium
To sing "Acqua azzurra", naked by the sea 3
To go a bit crazy
To go in the streets and dance
To get into every party
'Cause, you know, who cares, let's stay here
Until dawn, with happiness in our pockets
Let's all kiss
Let's all kiss
And if I could go to the seaside now, I'd cope with everything
Even those guys with the flamingo tube float
And if I see in the sky the correspondent from “Non è la D’Urso” 4
I’ll pull my swim trunks down and I’ll show her my helicopter 5
Even the Brunori Sas’ fan is now dreaming the club and Gigi D’Ag 6
And even [dreaming] the J-Ax summer hit 7
I love city traffic
My hatred for people has disappeared like the no-vax 8
I don’t think much of the future, because I’m missing the present
And I’d like the past to be remote 9
Like in a group chat, it’s going to be all right, or is it
I only know that I’m going to love everything more
And if I respect the distance
'Cause everything comes and goes
Then tell me why
I feel this crazy need
To be in the crowd, to shout like in a stadium
To sing "Acqua azzurra", naked by the sea
To go a bit crazy
To go in the streets and dance
To get into every party
'Cause, you know, who cares, let's stay here
Until dawn, with happiness in our pockets
Let's all kiss
I feel this crazy need
To burn my shoulders
To have sand in my shoes
I feel this crazy need
Of people playing on the seaside
And they'll hit me in the face with the ball
’Cause, you know, who cares, let's stay here
Until dawn, with happiness in our pockets
Let's all kiss
Let’s all kiss
1. reference to the fact that, in order to pass the time during the lockdown, many Italians have tried for the first time to bake at home cakes, pies, bread or other Italian specialties.2. reference to one of the first hit of J-Ax, “Tranqui Funky”, at the time part of a duo called “Articolo 31” with Dj-Jad.3. ”Acqua azzurra” (“blue water”) is a popular song by Italian singer Lucio Battisti, commonly sung during beach parties.4. an Italian tv show hosted by the anchorwoman Barbara D’Urso, often criticised for the lack of quality of her shows.5. during the lockdown, on April 2020, a man walking his dog on a seaside near Venice was chased by the police, patrolling the area with an helicopter to make sure that no crowd was gathering on the beach during the Easter holidays. By chance, there was a correspondent from the aforementioned tv show on that helicopter, who broadcasted live the whole chasing. This was later criticised on newspapers, tv shows and on the internet. The lyrics are obviously a reference to the so-called "helicopter dick".6. because of the lock down, J-Ax implies that even the "hipster" fans of indie music (like that of the Italian singer Brunori Sas) would now go to a common music club with dance/house music. Gigi D'Ag (D'Agostino) is a popular Italian DJ.7. the author of this song, here, is making fun of himself. Once known as controversial old-style rapper, he has recently wrote some more "pop" summer hit.8. J-Ax is implying that the covid-19 pandemic would persuade the no-vax movement that vaccines are actually useful and harmless.9. pun on "passato remoto" (lit. "remote past"), one of the Italian verb tenses.
