Below, I translated the lyrics of the song 081 by Geolier from Italian to English.
M''e 'ccatto po 'e metto 'ncopp'e spalte
I buy them and then I put them on the stands
A piglià acqua e viento
Enduring the elements
Comme ha fatto 'o presidente cu Victor Osimhen
As the president did with Victor Osimhen
So tutte mini Geolier pe chesto fa' silenzio, shh
They are all mini Geoliers, that's why be quiet, shh
Aggio rignuto tre stadie
I have filled three stadiums
Dint'o tiempo ca tu rigne nu bicchiere d'acqua
In the time it takes you to fill a glass of water
'A ggente nun me chiamma Geolier, me chiamma
People don't call me Geolier, they call me
Pe chesto luateve 'a 'nnanze
For this reason, get out of the way
Ovvio sto chino 'e pallottole
Of course I'm loaded with bullets
Ca, quando faccio 'o rap, ce jesce 'o sanghe pe bocca
And when I rap, blood comes out of my mouth
'A cosa bella nun è ca da casa veco Capri
The beautiful thing isn't that from my house I see Capri
Ma è da Capri ca se vede 'a casa mia e m'è custato nu tot, se sape
But it's from Capri that you can see my house, and it cost me a fortune, you know
Songo asciuto in prima pagina 'ncopp'o giurnale
I appeared on the front page of the newspaper
M'hanno criticato pecché viaggio c''o privato
They criticized me because I travel by private jet
E pe quanto ne piglio s'è aizato
And for how much I earn, it has risen
L'inquinamento a livello mondiale
Worldwide pollution
I' songo asciuto 'a Sanremo vincente
I emerged from Sanremo victorious
Nonostante aggio perzo pe vintinove e trenta
Even though I lost by twenty-nine point three percent
Tengo nu sacco 'e cumpagne ca si aveno 'a sentenza
I have a lot of friends who, if they get their sentence
L'anne so' 'e vintinove, trenta
The sentences are twenty-nine, thirty years long
Pe me guardà attuorno tengo ll'uocchie 'e Marotta
To look around me, I have Marotta's eyes
'Sta barca è troppo 'rossa, tene pure 'a scialuppa
This boat is too big, it even has a lifeboat
Io nn'so' maje cagnato manco 'doppo 'o malloppo
I never changed, not even after the loot
Pe chesto, quando traso i', fanno stop
That's why, when I enter, they stop
Songo overo comme 'e file d''o colloquio fore e carcere
I am real like the lines for visits outside the prison
Comme 'e femmene che fanno pure 'a pate, pure 'a mamma
Like women who also act as a father, even as a mother
Songo overo comme 'e segne ca te lasciano 'e manette
I am real like the marks that handcuffs leave on you
Pierde 'o tiempo si te miette contro, quinde vide tu
You waste your time if you go against me, so you decide
Si te conviene 'e te mettere contro, simmo mille 'e nuje
If it's convenient for you to go against us, we are a thousand of us
Site comme 'e vongole che stanno dint'o stesso piatto
You are like clams that are on the same plate
E se sputano 'ncuollo, quinde shh, vide tu
And they spit on each other, so shh, you decide
State 'int'o menù però non v'accatto, site 'o scarto senza collr
You are on the menu but I won't buy you, you are the worthless discard
'Int'o rione mio ce sta 'a faccia mia ch'addobbe
In my neighborhood there's my face that adorns it
Pe via d''e cullane ca me metto tengo 'a gobba
Because of the chains I wear, I have a hunchback
Vintequatto sette, tre e sissantacinche juorne
Twenty-four seven, three hundred and sixty-five days
'E faccio piglia l'ansiolitico ch''e liriche
I make them take anxiolytics with my lyrics
Si venco allora, è 'o minimo, si perdo, allò vò dicere
If I win then, it's only natural, if I lose, then it means
Ca nun ero i' a competere, sto sbuffanno sulo evera
That I wasn't there to compete, I'm just smoking weed
Pe'mmé fanno l'effetto d''o sonnifero
For me, they have the effect of a sleeping pill
Ma fanno capa e capa e allora sonano all'unisono
But they clash and then they play in unison
Ma i' songo l'algoritmo, me truove 'int'a ll'edicola
But I am the algorithm, you'll find me at the newsstand
Ma in prima paggina comme a nu divo
But on the front page like a star
Però vengo 'a 'int'o rione e so' rimasto sempe zingaro
But I come from the neighborhood and I've always remained a gypsy
Si te chiagne 'ncuollo, allora scivole
If you complain about yourself, then it slides
I' songo nu punto, tu na virgola
I'm a full stop, you're a comma
Tengo troppi palle e pe m''e purtà appriesso giro cu nu bilico
I have too many burdens and to carry them around, I drive a semi-truck
A te nun te credeno, crideme
They don't believe you, believe me
Songo overo comme 'e file d''o colloquio fore e carcere
I am real like the lines for visits outside the prison
Comme 'e femmene che fanno pure 'a pate, pure 'a mamma
Like women who also act as a father, even as a mother
Songo overo comme 'e segne ca te lasciano 'e manette
I am real like the marks that handcuffs leave on you
Lloco 'e bossole te coglieno e te stutano 'int'a n'attimo
Here the bullets catch you and snuff you out in an instant
Nn''e dà retta a chisti scieme, fanno sulamente chiacchiere
Don't listen to these idiots, they're just talking
Pecché overo nun si bbuono, ccà nu sicondo e muore
Because you're truly no good, here, one second and you die
Songo overo comme 'e segne ca te lasciano 'e manette
I am real like the marks that handcuffs leave on you
Lloco 'e bossole te coglieno e te stutano 'int'a n'attimo
Here the bullets catch you and snuff you out in an instant
