L' Aiuola Lyrics in English by Gianluca Grignani

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song L' Aiuola by Gianluca Grignani from Italian to English.
Ti rasero l'aiuola
I'll shave your flowerbed
Quando ritorni da scuola
When you get back from school
Ok, ti voglio bene
Ok, I love you
Ma molla le tue amiche sceme
But ditch your dumb friends
E amore è come anarchia
And love is like anarchy
E dillo alla polizia
So tell the cops
Va be sarà un difetto
Alright, maybe it's a flaw
Ma per favore andiamo a letto
But please let's go to bed
Perché a volte la felicità
Because sometimes happiness
Ti sfiora appena e poi se ne va
Just grazes you and then goes
Ti dice: 'Scusa, ciao, passavo di qua'
Says: "Sorry, hi, just passing by"
Come una donna che non ci sta
Like a woman who's not into it
Eppure a me non mi va, non va
Yet I don't like it, won't do
Sai di starmene qua
You know I'm staying here
Qua sospeso a metà
Here hanging halfway
No non mi vai bene
No, you don't suit me
E goder non conviene
And pleasure's not worth it
E mi tieni in catene
And you keep me in chains
No, non mi va
No, I don't want it
Se cade un pelo
If a hair falls
Crolla il cielo
The sky falls
Non mi va, non mi va
I don't want it, I don't want it
La notte poi vado in giro
At night I wander around
Come se fossi un vampiro
As if I were a vampire
Che sono in cerca d'amore
Looking for love
Per colpa io del tuo onore
Because of your honor
E le signore più belle
And the most beautiful ladies
Mi danno le caramelle
Give me candies
E tu che mi dici: 'Aspetta'
And you tell me: "Wait"
Che vado troppo di fretta
That I'm going too fast
Perché a volte la felicità
Because sometimes happiness
Ti sfiora appena e poi se ne va
Just grazes you and then goes
Ti dice: 'Scusa, ciao, passavo di qua'
Says: "Sorry, hi, just passing by"
Come una donna che non ci sta
Like a woman who's not into it
Eppure a me non mi va, non va
Yet I don't like it, won't do
Sai di starmene qua
You know I'm staying here
Qua sospeso a metà
Here hanging halfway
No non mi vai bene
No, you don't suit me
E goder non conviene
And pleasure's not worth it
E mi tieni in catene
And you keep me in chains
No, non mi va
No, I don't want it
Se cade un pelo
If a hair falls
Crolla il cielo
The sky falls
Non mi va, non mi va
I don't want it, I don't want it
Eppure a me non mi va, non va
Yet I don't like it, won't do
Sai di starmene qua
You know I'm staying here
Qua sospeso a metà
Here hanging halfway
No, non mi vai bene
No, you don't suit me
E goder non conviene
And pleasure's not worth it
E mi tieni in catene
And you keep me in chains
No, non mi va
No, I don't want it
Se cade un pelo
If a hair falls
Crolla il cielo
The sky falls
Non mi va
I don't want it
No
No

Gianluca Grignani’s “L’ Aiuola” is a cheeky snapshot of restless, rule-breaking love. The singer barges in with promises as simple as mowing a flowerbed and as audacious as ignoring “silly friends”, declaring that amore è come anarchia—love feels like anarchy. He is impatient for intimacy, complains about being “kept in chains”, and grumbles that happiness only brushes past us before vanishing again. The repeated image of something tiny—a single hair—bringing down the sky shows how fragile the relationship feels when every delay or refusal turns into drama.

In the second half, the narrator roams the night like a “vampire” hunting for affection, blaming his partner’s sense of honor for his frustration. Grignani mixes humor, desire, and a touch of melancholy to paint the chaos of young passion: wanting everything right now, fearing it could disappear in a second, yet being forced to wait. The flowerbed in the title becomes a playful symbol of both everyday chores and the wild, tangled emotions that need trimming before this love can truly bloom.
