Yakuza Lyrics in English by Elodie, Sfera Ebbasta, Rvssian
Sciagura is a dramatic Italian word for "misfortune" or "disaster". It's much more intense than a simple problem; it suggests a great calamity or tragedy.
In the song, Elodie sings the very modern and poetic line, "Ricopriamo di luci a LED ogni sciagura" (We cover every disaster with LED lights). This creates a powerful image of trying to hide or beautify painful experiences, a theme of finding light within the chaos of a complicated love affair.
This song is all about a secret, intense, and maybe a little dangerous relationship. Elodie sings about being on the edge of chaos but ready to dive into an "avventura" [adventure] with someone. They have to hide their connection from the world, "ci nascondiamo come la Yakuza" [we hide like the Yakuza], suggesting that other people wouldn't approve. She has a pretty tough view of love, saying it's "freddo, come le manette" [cold, like handcuffs], linking it to her difficult past. It seems she feels like she's seen as just a temporary good time, a "attimo fuggente prima del caos" [a fleeting moment before the chaos].
But even with all that baggage, this person is her calm in the storm: "Sei la mia pace nel caos, sei la mia cura" [You are my peace in the chaos, you are my cure]. They know people will talk about them, but they decide it doesn't matter. Sfera Ebbasta's part adds another layer, telling her she knows a thousand ways to hurt someone but also wants things "che non possono comprare i soldi" [that money can't buy]. It's a song about two people finding a private escape together, ignoring the outside world, and navigating a complicated but powerful connection.
