Barrio Lyrics in English Mahmood

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Barrio by Mahmood from Italian to English.
You always said, "Go away
I don't care about you anymore"
Why should I write you a poem
If you'll burn the pages
Light as elephants
Amid crystals
Gypsies like diamonds
Among Latin gangs
Dying, dying for you
Is useless because
I'll leave the sea behind me
Falling onto these streets
I called you, you told me
"Find me in the barrio"
As if, as if we were in the dark
In the night I see you
My house looks nice to me
You say, "It's not for you"
Yet you come to the hood
To dance with me
The barrio keeps playing anyway
The barrio keeps playing anyway
It keeps playing
I drive fast, change lanes
But not to get to you
If I have to climb your jealousy
I'd rather a pyramid
I drank water with Oki
Just to calm myself
I played videogames
So I wouldn't go out
Dying, dying for you
Is useless because
I'll leave the sea behind me
Falling onto these streets
I called you, you told me
"Find me in the barrio"
As if, as if we were in the dark
In the night I see you
My house looks nice to me
You say, "It's not for you"
Yet you come to the hood
To dance with me
The barrio keeps playing anyway
The barrio keeps playing anyway
It keeps playing
Bridge
You know the last kiss is easier
Then we fall down like Carthage
Never, never vanish like Isis
Never, never
"Find me in the barrio"
As if, as if we were in the dark
In the night I see you
My house looks nice to me
You say, "It's not for you"
Yet you come to the hood
To dance with me
The barrio keeps playing anyway
The barrio keeps playing anyway
The barrio keeps playing anyway
Barrio
Keeps on playing the

SONG MEANING

“Barrio” drops you straight into a vibrant urban maze where Mediterranean melodies mingle with Latin rhythms. Mahmood, one of Italy’s most daring pop voices, paints the barrio as a place that is equal parts dance floor and emotional battleground. The beat pulses like passing headlights, guitars sparkle like city lights, and every corner hides a memory of an on-again, off-again romance that refuses to die.

Through vivid images of “elephants among crystal” and “gypsies like diamonds,” the singer confesses how love can feel both heavy and delicate, priceless yet fragile. He races through traffic, downs painkillers with water, and dives into video games—all to escape jealousy and heartbreak—yet the pull of the neighborhood’s music keeps bringing him back. “Look for me in the barrio,” his lover says, and although the relationship might crumble like ancient Carthage, the barrio will always play its song, reminding us that passion, pain, and rhythm often share the same address.
