L'ERBA VOGLIO (Geordie) Lyrics in English by Lazza, Emis Killa

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song L'ERBA VOGLIO (Geordie) by Lazza from Italian to English.
(Oh, Andry)
(Oh, Andry)
Oh no (oh no)
Oh no (oh no)
Fumo l'erba voglio, ma non me ne accorgo
I smoke the "I want" herb, but I don't realize it
Il giorno che muoio (muoio)
The day I die (I die)
Farò come Geordie, pieno d'oro al collo
I'll be like Geordie, full of gold around my neck
Gli occhi su di te (su di te)
My eyes on you (on you)
Uuh, baby stai sicura che (-cura che)
Uuh, baby be sure that (-sure that)
Uuh non si può rubare dentro il giardino del re
Uuh you can't steal inside the king's garden
Perché nessuno baby può rubare a me
Because nobody baby can steal from me
Sogni d'oro quando dormo sul culo di lei (uh)
Sweet dreams when I sleep on her a** (uh)
Io vorrei farlo in tre però baby tu non direi
I'd like to do it in three but baby you wouldn't say
Sto nella stanza che mi godo il profumo di haze
I'm in the room enjoying the smell of haze
Che mi fa effetto come usare autotune o delay
That affects me like using autotune or delay
Nel mio lavoro so che il minimo è tanta pressione
In my job I know that the minimum is a lot of pressure
È come in bilico sui fili dell'alta tensione
It's like balancing on high-voltage wires
Ho ancora ho il brivido di quando ci sentivamo primi
I still have the thrill of when we felt like we were first
Con un micro e con un palco anche solo con quaranta persone (wow)
With a mic and a stage even with just forty people (wow)
Ed ero fuori strada (fuori strada)
And I was off track (off track)
E lei per me era come l'aria, infatti era viziata (era viziata)
And she for me was like air, in fact she was spoiled (was spoiled)
Ho sempre scritto di mio pugno, ma ciò nonostante (ciò nonostante)
I've always written by my own hand, but despite that (despite that)
Mi hai messo altre parole in bocca come fa un ghost-writer
You put other words in my mouth like a ghostwriter does
Uh, baby, baby
Uh, baby, baby
Oh no (oh no)
Oh no (oh no)
Fumo l'erba voglio, ma non me ne accorgo
I smoke the "I want" herb, but I don't realize it
Il giorno che muoio (muoio)
The day I die (I die)
Farò come Geordie, pieno d'oro al collo
I'll be like Geordie, full of gold around my neck
Gli occhi su di te (su di te)
My eyes on you (on you)
Uuh, baby stai sicura che (-cura che)
Uuh, baby be sure that (-sure that)
Uuh non si può rubare dentro il giardino del re
Uuh you can't steal inside the king's garden
Perché nessuno baby può rubare a me
Because nobody baby can steal from me
Lei dice che ama me anche se potrebbe avere chiunque
She says she loves me even though she could have anyone
Probabilmente è una bugia, ma con le gambe lunghe
It's probably a lie, but with long legs
Mi chiama amore mentre sbatto sulle sue anche unte
She calls me love while I hit on her greasy hips
Mi tocca il cuore, sì ma dentro mi lascia anche le unghie
She touches my heart, yes but inside she also leaves her nails
Mi stanco presto di scopare, non so stare apposto
I get tired quickly of f*cking, I can't stay put
Sarà che la mia vecchia vita, fra, era un mare mosso
Maybe my old life, bro, was a rough sea
Ho avuto gloria ma il dolore non l'ho mai rimosso (mai)
I had glory but I never removed the pain (never)
Perché l'odore di una troia ti rimane addosso
Because the smell of a b*tch stays on you
Non ho più sonno sparerei alla luna (tu, tu, tu)
I'm not sleepy anymore I'd shoot at the moon (you, you, you)
Ora che fuori dal mio letto non ho più nessuno
Now that outside my bed I don't have anyone anymore
Magari una di queste sere passerò a trovarti (già)
Maybe one of these nights I'll come visit you (yeah)
Ti sto scrivendo cattiverie ma vorrei abbracciarti
I'm writing you mean things but I'd like to hug you
Uh, baby, baby
Uh, baby, baby
Oh no (oh no)
Oh no (oh no)
Fumo l'erba voglio, ma non me ne accorgo
I smoke the "I want" herb, but I don't realize it
Il giorno che muoio (muoio)
The day I die (I die)
Farò come Geordie, pieno d'oro al collo
I'll be like Geordie, full of gold around my neck
Gli occhi su di te (su di te)
My eyes on you (on you)
Uuh, baby stai sicura che (-cura che)
Uuh, baby be sure that (-sure that)
Uuh non si può rubare dentro il giardino del re
Uuh you can't steal inside the king's garden
Perché nessuno baby può rubare a me, yeah
Because nobody baby can steal from me, yeah

L'erba voglio — The 'I want' grass

L'erba voglio literally translates to "the 'I want' grass." It's a fascinating and somewhat archaic Italian idiom, part of the phrase "L'erba voglio non esiste nemmeno nel giardino del re" (The 'I want' grass doesn't even exist in the king's garden).

This idiom is used to tell someone they can't always get what they want. However, Lazza cleverly subverts this by saying he smokes "l'erba voglio," implying he's indulging in his desires and perhaps even creating his own reality where he can have what he wants, despite the traditional saying. This play on words makes it a very intriguing and memorable phrase.
