LA DOLCE VITA Lyrics in English by Fedez, Tananai, Mara Sattei
Dirotteremo comes from the verb dirottare, meaning 'to hijack' or 'to divert' (a plane, a ship, etc.). It's a dramatic and less common verb than everyday actions.
In the song, Fedez sings, "So che non hai visto le Hawaii / Dirotteremo Ryanair" (I know you haven't seen Hawaii / We will hijack Ryanair). This line is playful and hyperbolic, suggesting a spontaneous, rebellious act to whisk his love away to a dream destination, making it a memorable and enticing word.
If you want pure Italian summer fun mixed with hip-hop bounce, Fedez brings it here alongside Tananai and Mara Sattei. The core theme is simple and blunt: “La vita senza amore dimmi tu che vita è” ("Tell me, what kind of life is a life without love?"). The track moves between staying cozy at home listening to classic tunes (“Bello stare a casa, musica italiana” [Nice staying home, Italian music]) and running wild in the middle of the night. Fedez even jokes about arguing with the DJ just to hear his favorite girl's songs (“Faccio a parole col DJ” [I fight with words with the DJ]). It feels chaotic, sweet, and completely real.
The lyrics mix genuine affection with total absurdity. One minute someone shares half a bed (“Prenditi il mio letto, lasciami un pezzetto” [Take my bed, leave me a little piece]), and the next they promise to hijack a budget flight to take her to Hawaii: “Dirotteremo Ryanair / E se ci beccano stica-ah-ah” ("We will hijack Ryanair / And if they catch us, who cares"). That last line cuts off the Italian slang sticazzi, which essentially means "who gives a damn!" Whether riding a late-night taxi or catching the bus (la corriera), the message is to ditch your plans with everyone else and just show up for the person who matters.
