Below, I translated the lyrics of the song 21 Grammi by Fedez from Italian to English.

Intro

21 grams

Of happiness

For personal use

We who didn't give our best

We who didn't take the classical path

We photocopies all the same, tricked into thinking we're special

And there aren't any stars

But we're still awake

With more ink under the skin

Than on the checkbook

We who in the middle of these vipers

By now can live with it

I've consumed 21 grams of happiness

For personal use

To get outta here

No more limits

No more bruises

A bit freer

I've consumed 21 grams of happiness

To daydream like years ago

When even if there was nothing, half was enough

21 grams of happiness

Them with blinders on

Her with a mouthguard

And the life lessons

Mark us absent

They dissolved our certainties inside the glass

Now I've got more ice in my heart than in the Jack Daniel's

Mechanical hearts for us sociopaths

Boring lives, single-theme parks

Let's love each other, let's lose ourselves, they'll run investigations

Till our tears break the banks

Let's hold tight, tourniquets

We're lethargic, we're chrysalises

We're romantic, we're sadists

If the world's sick we wait for the tests

More soaked, more fragile

Before the sun rises, let's free ourselves from the cold

Let's cover ourselves in insults

There aren't any stars

But we're still awake

With more ink under the skin

Than on the checkbook

We who in the middle of these vipers

By now can live with it

I've consumed 21 grams of happiness

For personal use

To get outta here

No more limits

No more bruises

A bit freer

I've consumed 21 grams of happiness

To daydream like years ago

When even if there was nothing, half was enough

21 grams of happiness

We're the side effect

Of a badly cut life

I look at the wounds they've left us

Then stitch them back up

With needle and barbed wire

I've consumed 21 grams of happiness

To daydream like years ago

When even if there was nothing, half was enough

21 grams of happiness

SONG MEANING

What if happiness had a weight – only 21 grams? In this energetic anthem, Italian rapper Fedez imagines buying and burning through a tiny, almost illegal-sounding dose of joy just to escape the gray routine. He speaks for a generation that didn’t give its best at school, didn’t follow the “classic” path, and now finds itself as photocopies, all the same, covered in tattoos but short on cash. Surrounded by “vipers,” icy hearts, and monotone theme-park lives, the characters in the song feel both fragile and rebellious, craving something real in a world that keeps handing them watered-down certainties.

Despite the bitterness, the chorus is a burst of hope. Those precious 21 grams let them dream with eyes wide open, just like when they were kids and half of nothing felt like plenty. Fedez turns their scars into battle trophies, stitches them up with barbed wire, and invites listeners to hold tight, shed labels, and become “a little more free.” The song is a gritty love letter to anyone who feels stuck yet still believes a small, concentrated shot of happiness can make them soar above the limits, bruises, and boredom of everyday life.
