Habibi Lyrics in English Ghali

Home / Lyrics Translation / Ghali / Habibi

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Habibi by Ghali from Italian to English.

I like smoking flower with her

In other European cities, hold her from behind and puff out the aroma

While she cooks something tasty

Drinking red wine

Watching documentaries about the universe and how it works

It's Carlito's way

But with a happy ending

Like going to heaven

But without dying

It's a rose with no thorns

negative energies

Among your friends there are spies

F*ck whoever goes and tells

Wily wily

Nari nari

We smoke the chaos

We drink the problems

Give me applause with your feet

Now that I'm still standing

Here they don't listen when you're thirsty

They jump on you when you drink

Habibi, habibi, habibi

Habibi sorry bro, sorry

Man, my mom blames me

When I come back late you're my excuse

You're my refuge if this door's closed

I wanted to be a pilot

Stay at high altitude

But in these years of flight

I don't wanna be alone, no

So, hostess

I'm dirty here

Don't leave me like this

In front of everyone like this

You've always been my lucid dream

I've always wanted your number

For you to be my babysitter

For you to be the tutor

I've been trying to call you for weeks

You take it badly

You post pics with the dog

You write and say he's your only love, that's not fair

Baby, that's not fair

Wily wily

Nari nari

Smoke my mess

We drink the problems

Give me applause with your feet

Now that I'm still standing

Here they don't listen when you're thirsty

They jump on you when you drink

Habibi, habibi, habibi

SONG MEANING

Habibi is Ghali’s laid-back love letter to a partner who turns everyday chaos into a slow-motion adventure. From smoking top-shelf weed in different European cities to sipping red wine while binge-watching space documentaries, the couple build a private universe filled with good food, sweet aromas and inside jokes. Ghali likens their time together to “going to paradise without dying,” a rose with no thorns, showing how this relationship softens the rough edges of city life.

Yet the song is not just dreamy escapism. Between the playful Arabic hook “Habibi, habibi” (meaning my love) and cheeky lines about using her as an excuse with his mom, Ghali slips in real-world tension: fake friends, nosy gossip, the feeling that people ignore you when you’re thirsty but crowd you when you finally drink. He confesses youthful ambitions of being a pilot, only to realize he doesn’t want to fly solo; she is his refuge when doors close. Blending Italian street slang, Arabic endearment and pop melodies, “Habibi” celebrates multicultural love as the ultimate high—one that helps you smoke the mess away, drink the problems down and still stay on your feet when the music stops.
