Italy ITALY 2021 - Måneskin - Zitti e buoni

Sanremo 2021: Vote for YOUR favourite!

Loro non sanno di che parlo
Voi siete sporchi, fra’, di fango
Giallo di siga’ fra le dita
Io con la siga’ camminando
Scusami, ma ci credo tanto
Che posso fare questo salto
Anche se la strada è in salita
Per questo ora mi sto allenando

E buonasera signore e signori
Fuori gli attori
Vi conviene toccarvi i coglioni
Vi conviene stare zitti e buoni
Qui la gente è strana, tipo spacciatori
Troppe notti stavo chiuso fuori
Mo’ li prendo a calci, ‘sti portoni
Sguardo in alto, tipo scalatori
Quindi scusa mamma se sto sempre fuori, ma

Sono fuori di testa, ma diverso da loro
E tu sei fuori di testa, ma diversa da loro
Siamo fuori di testa, ma diversi da loro
Siamo fuori di testa, ma diversi da loro
No

Io ho scritto pagine e pagine
Ho visto sale, poi lacrime
Questi uomini in macchina
Non scalare le rapide
Scritto sopra una lapide
"In casa mia non c’è Dio"
Ma se trovi il senso del tempo
Risalirai dal tuo oblio
E non c’è vento che fermi
La naturale potenza
Dal punto giusto di vista
Del vento senti l’ebrezza
Con ali in cera alla schiena
Ricercherò quell’altezza
Se vuoi fermarmi, ritenta
Prova a tagliarmi la testa
Perché

Sono fuori di testa, ma diverso da loro
E tu sei fuori di testa, ma diversa da loro
Siamo fuori di testa, ma diversi da loro
Siamo fuori di testa, ma diversi da loro

Parla la gente, purtroppo
Parla, non sa di che cosa parla
Tu portami dove sto a galla
Che qui mi manca l’aria
E parla la gente, purtroppo
Parla, non sa di che cosa parla
Tu portami dove sto a galla
Che qui mi manca l’aria
Parla la gente, purtroppo
Parla, non sa di che cazzo parla
Tu portami dove sto a galla
Che qui mi manca l’aria

Ma sono fuori di testa, ma diverso da loro
E tu sei fuori di testa, ma diversa da loro
Siamo fuori di testa, ma diversi da loro
Siamo fuori di testa, ma diversi da loro

Noi siamo diversi da loro​

Yes! We voting as crazy! And thanks to our juri!

I mean, Ukrainians definitely have a taste. We just get the music.
Again, glory to Italy, well deserved!

 

[RainyWoods]

He literally bends his head down whilst fist pumping Destiny's rousing speech. Like what is up with people? Holy crap. Is this magical powder resting atop the lid of a beer bottle or something?

 

[Sammy]

There is a very simple explanation for this alleged drug use: PREJUDICE!
Just because they represent a certain music style some people assume they have to take drugs. If Salvador Sobral would have made exactly the same gesture, nobody even would have thought of it! How about googling "Halo-Effect".

(BTW: coke is sniffed with some sort of straw/rolled paper - he has none of it in the hand)

 

[sucof]

France is rightly controversial because it wants to win, that's okay.
Should we call Materazzi back?

 

[hijirio]

In practice, what you are saying is that we did not win because we were good but thanks to a general exaltation and a poor but effective staging. Leaving aside talking about the poor but effective mise-en-scène, which even Einstein would struggle to understand, Italy won the ESC with ... programming! This success is not only of the Maneskin but of a musical landscape that since its return to the ESC has been striving to bring quality

The problem, dear EscTurkey, is that I would have agreed if the juries had awarded us but ... chose the public. One of the facts that contributed to the victory was also the presence of many strong songs that in past years, in other editions, would have triumphed. This allowed the votes to "dilute" and Italy to finally exploit the popular vote in its favor Do you want proof of my words? The strength of the “Top Ten” songs (let's not forget that the songs 11 to 20 positions were not weak at all) hit hard on Spain, France, the Netherlands, Germany and the UK which collected 0 points. This was the most exciting, difficult and hard-fought edition ever!

Anyway, rest assured. You can be sure that next year we will not win. But ... we will try to reach the "Top 10". Noooo I shouldn't have said that! Now you won't sleep at night!

In Rome there is a saying "Un saluto a soreta, un bacio ar pupo è un pizzico ar culo alla balia”. In English “Greetings to your sister, a kiss to the baby and a pinch to the ass to the nurse" What does it mean? “Ciao, bello!!!”

I’m sorry, haters... !!!ZITTI E BUONI!!!

tl;dr

 

[H.P. Lovecraft]

What does the article say?

Sorry I didn't have time to answer you, Mauve. You have translated I Bims well. It seems our victory has not been digested. Okay, the victory may not be shared but have you ever heard the good story of the ESC wanting to take away the prize from Italy by inventing a false accusation?

 

[RainyWoods]

Look again! The cooler is standing at the edge of the table that is the closest to the camera. Damiano is sitting at THE OTHER END of the table on the OPPOSITE SITE. His head is in the air.
And yes this drama is dumb.

You're right! This drama...... I'm speechless.

Ok I see your point, thanks for correcting me. Ultimately replaces my view with a question mark so it doesn't really change anything about the logic at work. End result is still that I don't give a shit even if it were obvious that he took a line of coke.

But the problem is they're being accused of doing something they didn't do and it's slandering them. It wouldn't bother me personally if they did do it but it's obviously going to be a big deal for others, and it's a serious accusation. And now this false information has hit the news sites. Our papers are all reporting on it. All you need to realise they weren't sniffing drugs here is a pair of eyes.

Exactly. It's slander and people could use this false information to get them disqualified.
Personally I wouldn't mind either, I thought it was funny when I first heard it.

Yesterday evening, Saturday 22 May 2021, on Rai1 the Eurovision Song Contest final won by Italy - from 20:59 to 1:03 - won 4,512,000 spectators equal to 25% share.
RECORD!

 

[Miloutchi]

This shows that my country (the Netherlands) is conservative as heck when it comes to music. Dutch people are definitely not as open-minded as they think they are. But I heard that many people weren’t allowed to vote, so maybe something went wrong there, but still 2 points is embarrassing.

 

[malombra]

Sing a song with lyrics essentially glamouring the young deaths of famous musicians from substance abuse and suicide: Radio silence from fandom.

Man looks down at table: DRUGS!!!!!!!!!!

it burns your ass huh?

 

[RainyWoods]

it burns your ass huh?

What burns my ass?

 

[malombra]

A completely irrelevant winner for me, it was 16th in my ranking with a 4/10. Congratulations anyway, it was clear that would take the trophy sooner or later.

what grace, what elegance ... do you really need it?

 

[malombra]

What burns my ass?

I misunderstood, accept my apologies

 

[0scar]

what grace, what elegance ... do you really need it?

Honey be cool, you won and congratulations for that!!!!
but not everyone is gonna like the Italian victory and some gonna be disappointed that their favourites didn't win and that's okay

 

[VikingTiger]

Congratulations to Måneskin and Italy! A very well deserved victory - even though Zitti e Buoni never make it to my top 10. But if I were only to judge the performances - this would be a top 3 for me.

 

[PollyWantsACracker]

What burns my ass?

He didn't understand as neither did I yesterday! @sucof it is ockay haha, read rainy's post again!


Now, there is no more appropriate moment than this one to share Maneskin's song The fear of the dark

FEAR OF THE DARK​

[Verse 1]
I hear a thousand voices speaking, but I don't hear what they're saying
I look in the mirror and I imagine to be in a circus
On a merry-go-round of happiness and I don't want to get off of it
Even if I'm not having fun anymore
Sometimes I feel like a miracle and sometimes ridiculous
Then I lose my mind in a second, but don't go tell it around
I'm out of myself
I'm out of myself

[Chorus]
And so take me, bite me, strip me of everything
I still won't be afraid of the dark
When I'll be on the ground, shattered
I still won't be afraid of the dark
And so spit on me, tear my clothes off of me
I still won't be afraid of the dark
And so buy me, sell me, do everything to me
You're the only one afraid of the dark
Not us, not us, not me, me

[Verse 2]
I've been preparing my valzer with the devil
Since I was a child
You can call me crazy, bastard, insane
I'll toast over it with wine
Yes, I'll toast to you
Yes, I'll toast to you
Because I know that even if you've hated me
You'll sing my name

[Chorus]
And so take me, bite me, strip me of everything
I still won't be afraid of the dark
When I'll be on the ground, shattered
I still won't be afraid of the dark
And so spit on me, tear my clothes off of me
I still won't be afraid of the dark
And so buy me, sell me, do everything to me
You're the only one afraid of the dark
Not us

[Bridge]
You'll come back to me, looking tired
You'll have cuts on your arms
You're left alone on the boat
I recognize the signs on your face
You'll come back to me with praying hands
You'll come back to me

[Outro]
You'll come back to me with praying hands
You'll come back to me
You'll come back to me with praying hands
You'll come back to me
