Diplomiamoci comes from the verb 'diplomarsi', which means 'to graduate' or 'to get a diploma'. The phrase humorously mixes this formal-sounding Italian verb with the English loanword 'hangover'.
In the song, this line is a playful metaphor for mastering the art of summer partying. It captures the carefree, rebellious spirit of staying out all night and living in the moment, perfectly embodying the song's fun, party vibe.
Italian pop artist Baby K teams up with the Spanish group Dvicio for a track that is completely obsessed with escaping real life through a summer night out. Right from the start, she sets the scene under a blazing sun where nobody sleeps: "Faccio un tuffo sotto il sole / Fa giĂ un caldo che si muore" ("I take a dip under the sun / It's already boiling hot"). The goal here is simple: put your headphones on, sip a beer with lemon (no ice, please), and forget your troubles until September. She even jokes about partying so hard they should "Diplomiamoci in hangover" ("Let's graduate in hangovers").
At the core of the track is a desperate urge to stay on the dance floor until the morning light breaks: "Non ci basterà questa notte / Voglio vedere le luci dell'alba cambiare colore" ("This night won't be enough for us / I want to see the dawn lights change color"). It is lighthearted and infectious, but there is a funny, slightly messy twist near the end. While waking up on the beach to crashing waves, she confesses, "Dimmi che male c'è / Se mentre ballo con lui / Io penso ancora a te" ("Tell me what's the harm / If while I dance with him / I'm still thinking about you"). It turns out dancing until 7:00 AM ("fare le sette") cannot quite make her forget that one person.
