Vorrei Ma Non Posto Lyrics in English J-AX , Fedez

Home / Lyrics Translation / J-AX / Vorrei Ma Non Posto

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Vorrei Ma Non Posto by J-AX from Italian to English.

I beg your pardon

But I don't follow etiquette

Cause at dinner I always have to hold an iPhone

Chiara Ferragni's dog and a Vuitton bow tie

And a collar with more glitter than an Elton John jacket

Salvini wrote a post on his blog

He says if morning's got gold in its mouth it must be a Rom

I'm addicted to saving 'cause at dinner I do

A little Groupon therapy

And then, you know, there's no

Sense in this time that doesn't give

Proper weight to what we're living

Every memory's more important to share

Than to live it

I'd like to but I don't post

And yet another summer will come

And we'll buy another exam at the university

And then a dive into the sea

National pop

The urge to sing sure won't leave us

And how will the kids take us seriously

With the proof we've left on Facebook over the years

Dad totally wasted every weekend

And Mom throwing her bra at every concert

That we blew a fortune

Crazy for fashion, Armani

The iPhone has replaced a body part

So there's a contest over who's got the biggest

She was born in 2000 and told you '98

And that she turns eighteen in August

While you look at those selfies she secretly sends you

And you think, sadly, I'd like to but I don't post

And if she hits you with a virus

Just get yourself Norton

All this surfing without finding a port

All this fuss to shoot sunset photos

Yet on a flat screen you can't see how deep it is

And then, you know, there's no

Sense in this time that doesn't give

Proper weight to what we're living

Every memory's more important to share

Than to live it

I'd like to but I don't post

And yet another summer will come

And we'll buy another exam at the university

And then a dive into the sea

National pop

The urge to sing sure won't leave us

When the thermometer turns red

How hot it gets

You strip your clothes off

You're a web star

Then you eat your ice cream

You make porn faces

You don't know how much I suffer

I'd like to but I don't post

And yet another summer will come

And we'll buy another exam at the university

And then a dive into the sea

National pop

The urge to sing sure won't leave us

SONG MEANING

Vorrei ma non posto ("I’d like to, but I won’t post it") is a tongue-in-cheek summer anthem where J-AX and Fedez shine a bright light on Italy’s selfie generation. Over a bouncy beat they reel off glittering dog collars, designer labels and dinners bought on Groupon, poking fun at how we chase likes instead of sunsets and keep iPhones glued to our palms. Pop-culture shout-outs to Chiara Ferragni, political blogs and Elton-style jackets paint a vivid picture of a world that scrolls more than it feels.

Behind the humor lies a sharp social snapshot. The rappers wonder how future kids will respect parents whose digital trail shows drunken weekends, tossed bras and filtered beach poses. They laugh at students who “buy” university exams, fake IDs on dating apps and the endless race to have the biggest phone. Every chorus repeats the ironic confession vorrei ma non posto, reminding us that memories matter more when we live them, not just share them. The message: pocket the phone, dive into the sea and sing your heart out, because real life still beats any post.
