Barcellona Lyrics in English by Ghali
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Barcellona by Ghali from Italian to English.
Mi hai detto faccio come cazzo mi pare
You told me I do whatever the f*ck I want
Sono tre vite che ti vengo a cercare
I've been looking for you for three lifetimes
Lo sai che ho ancora più paura dell'aereo
You know I'm even more afraid of flying
Se litighiamo prima di decollare
If we fight before taking off
E sì, la Tunisia, la Polizia
And yes, Tunisia, the Police
Quanto hai sofferto, mamma mia
How much you suffered, oh my goodness
E ancora che mi insultano le tue fan
And your fans are still insulting me
E il nuovo disco come va?
And how's the new album doing?
E senti, tua madre proprio non la sopporto
And listen, I really can't stand your mother
Ti spaccherei quel cellulare
I'd smash that phone of yours
Menti quando mi dici che ora è tutto a posto
You lie when you tell me everything's fine now
Che smetti pure di fumare
That you even stop smoking
Ne usciamo distrutti, coperti di insulti
We come out destroyed, covered in insults
Salutami Gucci, ti stringo e poi sfuggi
Say hi to Gucci for me, I hold you tight and then you slip away
Ti stringo e poi sfuggi
I hold you tight and then you slip away
Barcellona
Barcelona
L'ultima volta che ti ho vista è stato lì
The last time I saw you was there
Che strano reincontrarci qui dopo il check-in
How strange to meet again here after check-in
Finiti in un frullatore, dopo tutto 'sto grande amore
Ended up in a blender, after all this great love
Vorrei guadagnarci almeno una canzone
I'd like to get at least one song out of it
Quale pronostico, amore tossico
What a prognosis, toxic love
Amare il prossimo
To love your neighbor
Pensa se fossimo stati in un altro posto
Imagine if we had been somewhere else
Quella sera del novembre scorso
That evening last November
Non mi dire: 'Tutto a posto', io ti conosco
Don't tell me: "Everything's fine", I know you
In quartiere sono lo stesso ragazzino
In the neighborhood I'm the same kid
Dici che fumo con gli amici, faccio il duro e il figo
You say I smoke with friends, I act tough and cool
Il distacco dell'età, non l'ho mai sentito
The age gap, I've never felt it
Ti apro le porte del mio cuore, tu apri il frigo bar
I open the doors of my heart to you, you open the mini-bar
Ehi, quando ti guardo mi disarmi
Hey, when I look at you, you disarm me
Che fortuna che sei proprio tu ad amarmi
How lucky that it's you who loves me
E tu sei vergine per gli astri
And you're a Virgo by the stars
E quando lo facciamo è come se tu lo tornassi
And when we do it, it's like you return to it
Non riciclare quei messaggi
Don't recycle those messages
Oh baby, no, non disboscarmi
Oh baby, no, don't deforest me
Cancella i miei lavori se mi manchi
Cancel my plans if I miss you
Dove sei? Non vedo l'ora
Where are you? I can't wait
Barcellona
Barcelona
L'ultima volta che ti ho vista è stato lì
The last time I saw you was there
Che strano reincontrarci qui dopo il check-in
How strange to meet again here after check-in
Finiti in un frullatore, dopo tutto 'sto grande amore
Ended up in a blender, after all this great love
Vorrei guadagnarci almeno una canzone
I'd like to get at least one song out of it
Barcellona
Barcelona
Forse non c'è un destino meglio di così
Maybe there's no destiny better than this
Sorridi scema, che ci vuole a perdersi
Smile, silly, how easy it is to get lost
Finiti in frullatore, via da tutto 'sto grande amore
Ended up in a blender, away from all this great love
Vorrei guadagnarci almeno una canzone
I'd like to get at least one song out of it
Mi hai detto faccio come cazzo mi pare
You told me I do whatever the f*ck I want
Sono tre vite che ti vengo a cercare
I've been looking for you for three lifetimes
Lo sai che ho ancora più paura dell'aereo
You know I'm even more afraid of flying
Se litighiamo prima di decollare
If we fight before taking off

Did you like this lyrics translation?
disboscarmi — deforest me
Disboscarmi is a fascinating and somewhat rare word, literally meaning "to deforest me" or "to clear me of trees." It's an unusual choice in a love song, making it particularly memorable.
In the context of the lyrics, "Oh baby, no, non disboscarmi," Ghali uses it metaphorically. He's asking his lover not to strip him bare, not to take everything from him, or perhaps not to leave him desolate and empty like a deforested land. It's a powerful and poetic way to express vulnerability and the fear of being completely consumed or destroyed by a relationship.
