PUTIN GOT a tractor for his birthday from Belarus thus reference to Tractor. MAMMA is Russia as SC is a letter in Russian alphabet. The Reference to Morona is Moron Putin and Mamma loving Putin . There is also reference to phsycopath a small psychopath going to war. That person is Putin. The song is full of cryptic messages.....genius
.From CroaŠČia..........Hidden in a plain sight. This is a superb ‘rock-opera’ anti-war parody with powerful visuals. Tractor is a reference to Belarus president Lukashenko's birthday present to Putin. In the song Putin is described as a "vile little psychopath", the vocalist represents Stalin, and the guy with nuclear rockets has NINLE on his forehead (word play: Nin-Le=Lenin) and is dressed in monk's outfit, like Rasputin. Insertion of a dominant, sinister, dark Lenin, who came way before Putin, points to a much deeper problem. And those TWO nuclear warheads; after all we all know who dropped the A-bombs! At the end of the video, on the nuclear missile, it is written "pajČu", an anagram; "Čupaj"- pull out. Trajna nina nena’ is Croatian song for little kids; ‘Trajna nina armagedon nona’(grandma) speaks for itself. Mama ŠČ is a metaphor for Mother Russia (ŠČ is a letter of the Russian alphabet, also old Croatian Glagolitic). The Cyrillic letter Shch Щ was derived from the Glagolitic (Croatian script) letter Sht Ⱋ. Coincidently, the sum of letters Š and Č gives Z (25+4=29) in Croatian alphabet, and Z is a military symbol used by Russian Federation to mark their military vehicles in Ukraine. The chaotic part of the song represents repeating the same mistakes from history, and not learning anything. It plays Croatian alphabet in reverse: Ž(Ж/Ⰶ), Z(З/Ⰷ), V(В/Ⰲ), U(У/Ⱆ), T(Т/Ⱅ), Š(Ш/Ⱎ), S(С/Ⱄ), R(Р/Ⱃ), P(П/Ⱂ), O(О/Ⱁ), Nj(Њ/Ⱀⰺ), N(Н/Ⱀ), M(М/Ⰿ), Lj(Љ/Ⰾⰺ), L(Л/Ⰾ), K(К/Ⰽ), J(Й/Ⰺ), I(И/Ⰻ), H(Х/Ⱈ), G(Г/Ⰳ), F(Ф/Ⱇ), E(Е/Ⰵ), Đ(Ђ/Ⰼ), Dž(Џ/Ⰴⰶ), D(Д/Ⰴ), Ć(Ћ/Ⱋ), Č(Ч/Ⱍ), C(Ц/Ⱌ), B(Б/Ⰱ), A(А/Ⰰ). Visually, there are a lot of subliminals with multilevel meaning. Crocodile is a terrible drug popular in Russia, that makes people act like zombies. Guys are dressed in military uniforms but in pink and bright colors and are wearing dresses; making fun of all warmongers and military establishments, proponents of chaos. Side image shows roses sticking out of their asses. Preposterous, or superb description of the present time? Main exclamation is ‘mama idem u rat’- mommy I am going to war, a cry against the forced mobilization, and sending young people to kill each other. Are we ever going to learn?!
Thank you so much for this explanation! So I was on the right track, but only with one wheel instead of all four, so to say. That chaotic part truly does feel like history, USSR horrors in Europe. This is a phenomenal performance. Hats off!
This is my text on Croatian Wikipedia about the song -- Mama ŠČ! is a song by the rock-punk group Let 3, which won at Dora 2023 held on February 11, 2023 in Opatija. The song will therefore represent Croatia at the Eurovision Song Contest 2023 in Liverpool. According to the authors of more than 100 reactions to the song published so far on RU-vid, the song is amazing - a spontaneous, organic and compact amalgam of metal-rock, children's (nursery) rhyme, punk, classical opera, psychedelic music, marching, slet (mass games) music, with a concrete reminiscence of chaotic Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen, with elements of pop and even dance music. It is already clear that it is the most original song of this year's Eurovision Song Contest, and one of the most original Eurovision songs in general. According to the comments of numerous listeners on RU-vid, it is an art song with a strong message, but also a parody. Let 3 complemented the ingeniously composed music with great choreography and stage performances, so many commentators on RU-vid point out that it is immediately clear that this is an original masterpiece, which will undoubtedly be noticed and remain prominent in the annals of the Eurovision Song Contest. The words of the song are cryptic, and they mention the mom who bought a tractor, the mom who a moron, a small vile psychopath, armageddon-nona (grandmother), and they end-up with the line: "mom, I'm going to war". The meaning of the word "ŠČ", which is repeated after each verse, is particularly mysterious. The song is intentionally allusive (because Eurovision songs must not have any political message), and has a fluent meaning. Her interpretation is greatly helped by the fact that the main vocalist, Prlja, with make-up resembles Hitler from Chaplin's "The Great Dictator", but also wears a Stalin`s mustache, and it is clear that this is a parody of all the "little vile psychopaths, crocodile psychopaths" who push humanity into nuclear war ("armageddon"), symbolized by missiles carried by a bald man with the word "Njinle" (an anagram of Lenin) written on his forehead, although he is actually dressed as Rasputin, which represents an additional transition of meaning and performance into the surreal and the counter - reasonable. The tractor mentioned at the beginning of the song probably refers to the tractor that Belarusian president Lukashenko bizarrely gave as a present to the Russian president Putin for his 70th birthday, and which - given that Russia finances Belarus - Russia bought to itself. The word "mama" (which bought a tractor) therefore means Mother Russia , and it is also symbolized by the double voice, i.e. the letter ŠČ, for which there is a special sign in the Russian alphabet (Щ). "Mama ŠČ" therefore means Mother Russia, although the song is not anti-Russian, but anti-war, because it "trolls" i.e. mocks and/or ironizes (with make-up, costumes, choreography, words and music) all those (both Hitler and Stalin) who, for the sake of the pleasure of their own domination, turn the world into a private playground of war, the price of which must be paid by the "little man". The words "moron" and "psychopath" are therefore based on all those who start wars, as the co-author of Mrle confirmed in his interview on February 16 on Bosnian television, and not only on Putin, as stated in most media, although the allusion to him is perhaps clearer than others. The song immediately delighted the majority of the audience, and won overwhelmingly at Dora, although there are also those who react negatively to it, so it is clear that it does not leave anyone indifferent. This was obviously the intention of the authors, more than winning the competition. Despite this, some "Mama ŠČ!" already see as the winner of the competition, which largely coincides with the bookmakers' predictions. WIWIBLOGGS, a specialized portal for Eurovision, has published the results of its poll on the favorites among the 15 songs selected so far. The first place was taken by Let 3 and their song "Mama ŠČ!". 31,437 people participated in the survey, and “Mama ŠČ!” won the first place with incredible 53.99% of votes (16,974 votes).

We currently have a terrible war in Europe and the artists cannot ignore it. Since it is forbidden to mix politics in music at ESC, I guess Let 3 decided to give its opinion about this war, but on a very cryptic way, so it cannot be disqualified. Smart artists are able to go round a ban to express themselves.
They are making fun of Putin and dictators and Njinle is Lenjin or Lenin in backwards. Also Armagedon Nona means Armagedon Granny, Nona is another word for Baba or Baka in coastal Croatia and comes from Italian "Nona" which is Granny in Italian, Mama and Armagedon Nona are both Russia.
Stipe, i ja pokušavam objasniti ostatku svijeta što je baka a što nona, također, što je taraktor a što traktora, uostalom, u tome i jest tajna, važno je da se svijet zainteresira! Osobito u predsezoni, za sezonu ćemo lako! Pozdrav, deda Miro iz Surčina (Zemuna)
No worries about putting this song on any box. It's a genious masterpiece. For me, at first was also a shock but once understood its meaning, its one of the best entries of all times Eurovision. 100 Points from Portugal
I am a Croat but I was also surprised, and I told to me - What is this? We say - traktor like the rest of the world, but in dialect, close to Italy, people say wrong - traktora! So, it's funny even to us! Let 3 knows it and perfectly made a humor with so strong message! If I am a Ucrainian soldier this song could be to me stronger than a drug!
mama ŠČ has elements of a traditional song for children... in the chaotic part of the song we also hear the pronunciation of the Croatian alphabet upside down... the song has many levels in the music, text, costume and choreography... they want to convey the chaotic mind of a psychopathic dictator and war... I think they succeeded...
My dear , you are young. They are old , orign punk band , because of that for you this is chaotic. They formed in late 80’ in former Yugoslavia. Let3 was always against everiting that was mainstream. If you know anything about punk you will heard in bottom of melody this origins.
Under the cover of simple "troll face" over dictators, there is serious plane in that song. "Idem u rat" = "I am going to war". Beneath the obvious, It is kind of a son tellling his mother that he is going to die. "Tractor" meaning is also not as simple as it seems. Tractor-producing factories all over different countries are the same ones that were mass producing tanks in WW2. Also, in both Ukraine and Russia, governments are offering large sum of money as compensation for dead soldier. So, "mama kupila traktora", guess with what money?
From the HOMELAND of Nikola Tesla! Full electricity! Gigi Lafonte, do not be so sad! You are to young to have a hobby: Who is a Serb in Croatian history? I know many Serbs with this hobby but they are old! Take a look this young lady - Foxie! And? Be her husband! I realy wish it to you!
@@GGTanguera Better funny comment than sad. Serbs are sometimes very sad. Croatia is land of Nikola Tesla. He was once in Serbia! Only two hours! Mamma mia!
