Scusa Lyrics in English Gemitaiz
Cicale translates to "cicadas". It's an interesting and somewhat rare word to find in song lyrics, especially in a rap context.
In the song, Gemitaiz sings, "Mi sveglio e canto, come le cicale" (I wake up and sing, like the cicadas). This line evokes the image of cicadas, known for their loud, persistent singing, to describe his own constant need to create and express himself through music, even when facing difficulties. It's a vivid and unexpected metaphor.
Scusa means sorry, yet Gemitaiz uses the word like a pointed boomerang. In this track he throws ironic apologies at critics who first mocked him and now beg for a feature, exposing the flip-flop loyalty of the music scene. Between smoky studio nights and thunderous live shows, he brags about writing two albums a year, promises to turn clouds into sunbeams, and reminds everyone that his voice will stay hoarse and loud no matter how famous he gets.
Behind the swagger we also hear a bruised heart. Gemitaiz owns up to restless insomnia, excessive partying, and the fear of ending up truly alone, but every scusa is half-sincere, half-sarcastic. The refrain “Non lo faccio più” (I won’t do it anymore) repeats like a tongue-in-cheek confession: he knows he will keep pushing limits because music is his only honest language. The result is a roller-coaster anthem that celebrates raw authenticity while poking fun at the very idea of making excuses.
