Gherkin: Step definition with string which has double quoted element

Question

I have step:

Then I should see validation error "Some text"

I use this string for XPATH in my step definition. And I also have the text for this error like this:

"Some "text""

I tried to write something like this:

Then I should see validation error "Some \"text\""

But it wasn't helpful. How should I manage this?

Gherkin file:

@blog 
Feature: test for stackoverflow 

    Scenario Outline: Function to validate stackoverflow.
    
    Then I should see validation error "Some text"

Java implementation (old version):

@Then("I should see validation error \"(.*)\"")
public void sof(String someText) {
    System.out.println("Your text is: " + someText);
}

Java implementation:

@Then("I should see validation error {string}")
public void sof(String someText) {
    System.out.println("Your text is: " + someText);
}

Console:

Your text is: Some text
