Rapide Lyrics in English Mahmood

Mahmood’s "Rapide" captures the wild currents of a relationship that has spun out of control. The title itself refers to rapids – fast, unpredictable waters – and Mahmood compares his former lover’s tears to those rushing waves. Over pulsing beats he jumps from glamorous images (cruising in a Mercedes) to suddenly being dropped on a train, from carefree afternoons by the lake to sleepless nights in Milan. Each scene shows how quickly affection can flip into betrayal, leaving him questioning trust, identity and the meaning of future.

Despite the heartbreak, the song is laced with a stubborn spark of self-defence. Mahmood admits to mistakes, late-night partying and fleeting flings, yet he keeps repeating one promise: “Nelle tue rapide non cadrò – I won’t fall into your rapids.” In other words, he refuses to drown in someone else’s emotional turbulence. "Rapide" is both a confession and a comeback anthem, reminding listeners that even when love feels like a raging river, you can still find the strength to swim for shore.
