Extasy Lyrics in English by Ghali
Capricci translates to "tantrums" or "whims." It's an interesting word because it describes a childish or unreasonable display of temper or desire, often used in a playful or exasperated way.
In the song, Ghali asks, "Ma perché fai 'sti capricci?" (But why are you throwing these tantrums?). This line adds a touch of relatable human interaction and a hint of playful frustration, making the word memorable and engaging for learners.
Ghali opens on a late night that has already gone sideways: "Lei vuole fare FaceTime" (She wants to FaceTime), and he is in the studio, smoking, heading home in a taxi where "le mie mani sanno ancora di te" (my hands still smell of you). The woman is a short story he keeps replaying: "Avessimo una storia durerebbe poco" (If we had a story it would last a short time), and if she lived his life, she "dureresti un giorno" (you'd last one day).
The chorus ties her to the high in the title. "Sento che mi sta salendo" (I feel it kicking in) runs straight into "Tu sei extasy per me" (You're ecstasy for me), so the drug and the person blur into one rush he does not want to come down from. Between choruses he jokes, stutters "Mi sc-sc-scusi, sc-sc-sc-scherzo" (Ex-ex-excuse me, j-j-j-joking), borrows Michael Jackson's "Annie are you okay", and sets his rule: "Prima gli amici, poi i doveri" (Friends first, then duties).
