CHICA ITALIANA Lyrics – ANNA

[Intro: ANNA]
(Ah-ah-ah)

[Strofa 1: ANNA]
Lei vede tutto doppio quando torna a casa la sera (Uh no, no, no)
Se ti fa il malocchio, dopo di sicuro s’avvera (Ah, ah, ah)
Quell’amica va veloce come fosse un Panamera (Come on, baby)
Sta girando una cartina grossa come la cartina dell’America, vuole l’America

[Ritornello: ANNA]
Sogna l’America, però è una chica italiana
Vuole andare via da qui-i-i

Sogna l’America, però il dinero mancava
Nelle tasche dei suoi je-e-eans
Vuole l’America così nessuno la chiama
Cellulare fa “drin, drin, drin”
Sono in America con una chica italiana
Penso finally-y-y

[Strofa 2: ANNA]
Lei viene dai palazzi, no white palace (No, no)
Sognava di tuffarsi alle Bahamas (Ah-ah)
E diceva che un giorno avrebbe avuto il mondo
E qualcuno là fuori che l’aspettava (Ah, ah, ah)
Brutta realtà quella in cui vive (You know?)
Punta a realtà per poi riuscire (Ah-ah)
A lasciare indietro le palazzine
Non abbandonare mai chi ci vive (Ah, ah, ah)
Sai che ho scommesso assai
E che ti prometto quello che vuoi
Sembra tutto finto come a Dubai
Qui l’America, tu vuoi l’America

[Ritornello: ANNA & Sfera Ebbasta]
Sogna l’America, però è una chica italiana
Vuole andare via da qui-i-i
Sogna l’America, però il dinero mancava

Nelle tasche dei suoi je-e-eans
Vuole l’America così nessuno la chiama
Cellulare fa “drin, drin, drin”
Sono in America con una chica italiana (Money Gang)
Penso finally-y-y

[Strofa 3: Sfera Ebbasta]
Sei una chica italiana (No, no)
Sei cresciuta insieme ai maschi per strada (Bu, bu)
A undic’anni con la siga in bocca
A dodici era già diventata una canna
Canti Gigi D’Alessio, passi la piastra, ah
So che odii tuo papà (No, no)
Da quel giorno in cui ti ha abbandonata
Sola con tua mamma ed è andato di casa (Skrrt, skrrt, skrrt, skrrt, skrrt, skrrt)
Dici che è okay, ma so che non lo è (Uh)
Non riescono a mentire I tuoi occhi
Non serve coprirli con lenti Cartier (Brr-pow)
Ti senti sola tutte le notti
Sembra che a nessuno gli importi di te (No, no, no)
Mentre fuori nevica, ti concedi a chi non ti merita (Brr)
Piangi e sogni l’America, sogni l’America

[Ritornello: ANNA]
Sogna l’America, però è una chica italiana
Vuole andare via da qui-i-i
Sogna l’America, però il dinero mancava
Nelle tasche dei suoi je-e-eans
Vuole l’America così nessuno la chiama
Cellulare fa “drin, drin, drin”
Sono in America con una chica italiana
Penso finally-y-y

[Intro]
The intro sets a reflective tone with vocalizations that evoke a sense of contemplation or emotional depth.

[Strofa 1]
In this verse, ANNA describes a girl who experiences double vision when she returns home at night, possibly suggesting intoxication or fatigue. She believes in the power of curses, feeling that they inevitably come true. Her friend moves swiftly through life like a high-performance car (Panamera), rolling large joints akin to the size of an American map. The girl yearns for America, symbolizing a desire for escape and freedom from her current circumstances.

[Ritornello]
The chorus emphasizes the girl’s persistent dream of America despite being an Italian chica (girl). She longs to leave her current life behind, driven by a lack of money (dinero) in her jeans. Her aspiration for America is not just physical relocation but also a yearning for a new identity where she can evade the judgments and expectations of her current environment. The ringing of her cellphone (“drin, drin, drin”) signifies communication and perhaps a call to a new life in America, where she finally feels liberated (“finally-y-y”).

[Strofa 2]
Here, ANNA contrasts the girl’s dreams with the harsh reality she faces. Raised in modest buildings rather than opulent palaces, she fantasizes about luxuries like diving into the Bahamas. She once believed she would conquer the world and that someone out there awaited her success. Now, confronted with the gritty truth of her surroundings, she aims to achieve a better reality, intending to leave behind the limitations of her current lifestyle without abandoning the community she knows. Despite feeling disillusioned (comparing her situation to the artificiality of Dubai), her desire for America remains strong.

[Ritornello (ANNA & Sfera Ebbasta)]
This chorus repeats the theme of the girl’s dream of America, highlighting her persistence in wanting to escape her financial constraints and societal labels. The addition of Sfera Ebbasta underscores solidarity in this aspiration for a better life abroad (“Money Gang”), emphasizing that the dream of America transcends individual longing to become a shared aspiration.

[Strofa 3 (Sfera Ebbasta)]
Sfera Ebbasta’s verse paints a portrait of the Italian girl’s tough upbringing. Raised among streetwise boys, she began smoking at a young age and quickly matured beyond her years. Despite her tough exterior, she retains a connection to her roots, singing along to Italian music and meticulously grooming herself (“passi la piastra,” meaning she straightens her hair). Her relationship with her father is fraught with abandonment, a deep wound that she tries to mask as okay while knowing deep down it’s not. Despite feeling unseen and unloved, especially evident during lonely nights and harsh weather, she holds onto her dream of America as a beacon of hope and change.

[Ritornello (ANNA)]
The final chorus echoes the persistent theme of the Italian girl’s dream of America. She yearns to escape her current circumstances, where she feels overlooked and misunderstood. Her dream of America represents not only physical relocation but also a longing for a new beginning and a chance to redefine herself away from societal pressures. The repetitive nature of the chorus emphasizes her determination and unwavering hope that, in America, she can finally find the freedom and acceptance she craves (“finally-y-y”).
