Getting Caught Up on More Posts- maybe I'm getting burnt out, oh well.

Spingo Il Tempo Al Massimo

2/24/20


Quickly...


I really don't listen to Italian artist Jovanotti all that much, but his dang music gets in my brain lots and lots.

And I really like the dude-- problem is that he's a mainstream artist in Italy and mainstream music has a beat-box/techno/remix feel to it.  I love Jovanotti for his versatility and he really does have some great music.  Being an Italian speaker, it's fun to understand the lyrics. 

This song is from 2011 album "Ora"  It's called SPINGO IL TEMPO AL MASSIMO.

Here are the lyrics in English y'alls.

Oh my mom oh my momOh mamma mia oh mamma mia

Oh my mom oh my momOh mamma mia oh mamma mia

Oh my mom oh my momOh mamma mia oh mamma mia

Oh my mom oh my momOh mamma mia oh mamma mia

Oh my mom oh my momOh mamma mia oh mamma mia

Oh my mom oh my momOh mamma mia oh mamma mia

Mother give birth to meMadre partoriscimi

I start living againRincomincio a vivere

Mother give birth to meMadre partoriscimi

And I begin to liveE comincio a vivere

Mother give birth to meMadre partoriscimi

I start living againRincomincio a vivere

Mother give birth to meMadre partoriscimi

And I begin to liveE comincio a vivere

I push time to the limitSpingo il tempo al limite

Out into the edgeFuori dentro al margine

Up to overturn the sign of realityFino a ribaltare il segno della realtà

I push my time to the maxSpingo il tempo al massimo

Until almost lostFino quasi a perdermi

Infinity is the momentL'infinito è l'attimo

Ocean raftZattera oceano

I push my time to the maxSpingo il tempo al massimo

At most at mostAl massimo al massimo

I push my time to the maxSpingo il tempo al massimo

At most at mostAl massimo al massimo

I push my time to the maxSpingo il tempo al massimo

As if it were a fireballCome fosse un bolide

The Italian is statelessL'italiano è apolide

Uncomfortable positionsPosizioni scomode

I push my time to the maxSpingo il tempo al massimo

At most at mostAl massimo al massimo

I push my time to the maxSpingo il tempo al massimo

At most at mostAl massimo al massimo

I live simultaneouslyVivo in simultanea

Inside a circuitDentro ad un circuito

I live in intuitionVivo nell'intuito

In indomitable thinkingNel pensiero indomito

Vertigo chasmVertigine voragine

HallelujahAlleluja

Oh my mom oh my momOh mamma mia oh mamma mia

Oh my mom oh my momOh mamma mia oh mamma mia

Oh my mom oh my momOh mamma mia oh mamma mia

I go back to my originsTorno alle mie origini

Vibe of vertigoVibro di vertigini

I go back to my originsTorno alle mie origini

Angelic soul and wingsAnima e ali angeliche

My double propellersLe mie doppie eliche

They turn they turnGirano girano

I push my time to the maxSpingo il tempo al massimo

In addition to the landingOltre al pianerottolo

On the circulating planetNel pianeta in circolo

In addition to the showOltre allo spettacolo

I push my time to the maxSpingo il tempo al massimo

I iron the milky wayStiro la via lattea

I pronounce myself in the chairMi pronuncio in cattedra

I skip the controversySalto la polemica

I'm going straight to the coreVado dritto al nocciolo

I push my time to the maxSpingo il tempo al massimo

Closed and without limitChiuso e senza limite

Spherical infinityInfinito sferico

Here's the song.  This is the kind of music I would frequently hear in the supermarkets when I lived in Italy as a missionary for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.  I wasn't permitted to listen to "wordly" music during my two year stint in It-ly, so when I heard ANY music (as a music lover) I would take it, even if it wasn't my preferred genre, techno. 

HuGs.

La Medicina

3/31/19

This is an unusual track, but it was stuck in my head, so here you go!

This is from Italian singer-songwriter Jovanotti.  I like the dude, quite a bit.  He's pretty versatile as far as his capability as a writer, but that does mean that sometimes he'll publish a song that's overproduced and a little out there.  Such is the case for "La Medicina" which can be found on his 2011 Deluxe Version of his album "Ora"

"La Medicina" means The Medicine.  This track switches frequently between Italian and English.  Definitely not the track I'd share from his collection, but that's not what this here blog is about yo.

Here's the song. 

My blog is weird.  

Battiti di Ali di Farfalla

Today's song comes from Jovanotti, who is an Italian singer-songwriter whose real name is Lorenzo Cherubini.

It took me a long time to figure out what this song was.  All I could hear in my head was "Put your hands up!" (Bang bang bang)  I thought it was a song about police shooting at somebody or something.  I didn't think that it may be in another language until it hit me that I had this hip-hoppy sounding Italian dood in my collection.  Then I figured out that it was "Ding ding ding" instead of "bang bang bang" and I found the song.

In years past I've sort of scoffed at rap as if it's not a real hard thing to do.  Have you ever tried it though?  It's totally hard and you have to be hard-core to be good at it.

Rapping in Italian, with all those syllables is even harder!

Here's today's song, "Battiti di Ali di Farfalla" from Jovanotti.  It's about boxing.  If I had more time, I'd write more, but I don't.

Enjoy.
