EMIRATES Lyrics (English Translation) – Geolier

[Stanza 1: Jeweler]
I remember many things
Like when you had your first relationship
Or the first gun
What makes you a Lamborghini?
When I didn’t even know how to ride a bike
First and foremost in the FIMI ranking
Aggio made a bet
I played all the things ‘ncuoll’a mme and lost?
He lost more than one vote
This is a vote I lost thanks to me, not thanks to them
I remember the feeling when the cord was removed

Stongo alluccano and no one understands me
It’s so worth it to be calm and I’m getting used to everything
By now I know that I write all the things that in the end I don’t say

[Pre-Ritornello: Geolier]
I look at Naples ‘int’ô vetro’ and the Emirates
I dream sad as if it won’t happen again
Yes, the proof doesn’t count if you have it
Yes, it’s proof that everything is fine, thank you

[Ritornello: Mavi Gagliardi & Geolier]
How many things do you have to do to get me this good
This thing that he didn’t do, he didn’t surrender to me
Do everything and tell me
How many things do you have to do to get me this good
This thing that he didn’t do, he didn’t surrender to me
How many things did you have to do to get me this good

[Stanza 2: Jeweler]
Multi-award winning, multi-platinum
All my dreams are all the same
The fool who blamed me then changed his mind
And everything’s strong that if I dream I’ll get better then I’ll relapse
***, I don’t answer you, who are you?
Vote no matter what you have, vote counts and more

Nothing will vote in the background and that’s it
There are no thousand or two thousand or three dependent daughters
If he wasn’t taken to keep the million, he turned to the lobster
He’s the one who has no sack and is deaf but he gave all the money
There’s that stain on the slab
We knew the stain and iron, and I didn’t lie to the guagliona
Only if it deals with women, and despite being deaf, very simple

[Pre-Ritornello: Geolier]
I look at Naples ‘int’ô vetro’ and the Emirates
I dream sad as if it won’t happen again
Yes, the proof doesn’t count if you have it
Yes, it’s proof that everything is fine, thank you

[Ritornello: Mavi Gagliardi & Geolier]
How many things do you have to do to get me this good
This thing that he didn’t do, he didn’t surrender to me
Do everything and tell me
How many things do you have to do to get me this good
This thing that he didn’t do, he didn’t surrender to me
How many things did you have to do to get me this good
