Optional Lyrics in English by Ghali
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Optional by Ghali from Italian to English.
A volte mi metto in disparte, faccio giocare gli altri
Sometimes I step aside, I let others play
Ma il mister mi rimette perché siete troppo scarsi
But the coach puts me back in because you're too sh*t
Non senti i miei passi, muovo i kk con il taxi
You don't hear my steps, I move the K's with the taxi
Fidati è più sgamo, poi i soldi te li reintaschi
Trust me it's more cunning, then you pocket the money again
Ad Hammamet come Craxi
In Hammamet like Craxi
Ad Ibiza come i pazzi
In Ibiza like madmen
Nella tua festa tutti cazzi
At your party everyone's a d*ck
Faccio un crappolone maxi
I take a maxi sh*t
La tua tipa vuole me frà (oh no)
Your girl wants me bro (oh no)
Non vede l'ora che la lasci (dai Kho)
She can't wait for you to dump her (come on Kho)
Non tornerò più povero, no mai
I won't be poor again, no never
In Italia se sei povero ti schiacciano lo sai? (Ghali rimandali a casa)
In Italy if you're poor they crush you, you know? (Ghali send them home)
Certo zio, ASAP
Sure bro, ASAP
Li metto in ginocchio come un tossico che basa
I bring them to their knees like a junkie who freebases
Nessuno ti rasa come Aziz from Casa
Nobody shaves you like Aziz from Casa
C'è chi fa i pezzi per il naso e chi per la NASA ah
There are those who make pieces for the nose and those for NASA ah
Ocio frà, andare a tempo non è un optional
Watch out bro, keeping time isn't optional
E questa pussy non è un optional
And this pussy isn't optional
Quest'erba buona non è un optional
This good weed isn't optional
Mio padre con la -ina, io con la -uana
My father with the -ine, I with the -uana
Dunque gira e rigira torno nella mia savana
So one way or another I return to my savanna
Mia madre è una regina ma son figlio di puttana
My mother is a queen but I'm a son of a b*tch
Conosco chi ti sbuccerebbe come una banana (go, go, go)
I know who would peel you like a banana (go, go, go)
Invidia per tutti, sentimento commerciale
Envy for all, a commercial feeling
Ti rompo il culo e non lo sai, ti devo avvisare
I'll break your a** and you don't know it, I have to warn you
Questa merda picchia assai, più bevo e più sale
This sh*t hits hard, the more I drink the more it gets intense
Tua madre piange, sei un coglione non un criminale
Your mother cries, you're a d*ckhead not a criminal
Sto con chi è nato in strada e non ci vuole stare
I'm with those born on the street and don't want to stay there
Sta merda per me è come fare un giro con mia madre
This sh*t for me is like taking a ride with my mother
Fai le foto poi ti fai allacciare, bravo bravo
You take photos then you get buckled in, good job good job
Ringrazia Allah che sono in Ramadan o ti mangiavo
Thank Allah I'm in Ramadan or I would've eaten you
Ocio frà, andare a tempo non è un optional
Watch out bro, keeping time isn't optional
E questa pussy non è un optional
And this pussy isn't optional
Quest'erba buona non è un optional
This good weed isn't optional
Ocio frà, andare a tempo non è un optional
Watch out bro, keeping time isn't optional
E questa pussy non è un optional
And this pussy isn't optional
Questa weed non è un optional
This weed isn't optional

Did you like this lyrics translation?
sgamo — sketchy / suspicious (slang)
Sgamo is a very interesting slang term that doesn't have a direct, single-word translation in English. It generally refers to something or someone being 'sketchy', 'suspicious', or 'easily detectable' in a negative sense.
In the context of the song, Ghali says, "Fidati è più sgamo, poi i soldi te li reintaschi" (Trust me, it's more suspicious/detectable, then you re-pocket the money). He's implying that a certain action is more likely to get caught or is inherently shady, making it a unique and engaging word for learners to discover.
