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.
This song is the ultimate summer anthem! It's all about escaping your problems and living completely in the moment during a hot, sleepless summer. Baby K kicks things off by saying, "Questa estate non si dorme / Me la bevo come un cocktail" (This summer we don't sleep / I drink it up like a cocktail). The whole vibe is about forgetting everything else—work, worries, even your own name—and just enjoying the heat, the music, and the freedom.
At its heart, though, it's a simple and direct request to share that perfect summer night with one specific person. She's not asking for anything crazy, singing, "Non chiedo la luna ma un ballo con te" (I'm not asking for the moon, just a dance with you). It's about finding a partner to party with until sunrise, leaving everything behind until the vacation ends in September. The goal is to stay out all night, "fino a che nasce il sole" (until the sun rises), and maybe even "diplomiamoci in hangover" (let's graduate in hangovers).
