MJ, the fact that you got so moved when you saw the tatoo of a cobra on his father's hand proves that the visuals used by the singer and the producers are so smartly spot on the deep meaning of the lyrics. You don't understand italian but you grabbed immediately the reason why the singer is getting a magnified tatoo of the same cobra. His father figure, although physically absent during most of his life, is deeply impressed on his skin, in his soul expressing his anger too for missing him so much...
all the props in the living room are typical of italian house of the 90s. the shots on the wall, the car key, le telephone: waiting for someone who's not coming back. he still alone in the same car, stuck in the past. the cobra on the father's hand is the huge cobra on his back, the mark left on him. the cobra is evil but is also the wisdom that comes off the knowledge of evil.
It is a song about abandonment.... this is why he is always alone.... he was left by his father : the only other person in his life is his mum, the woman who's holding the kid.
When I listened to the song to Sanremo I had the same your reaction... when I saw also the video I cried my eyes out... it's not easy to make yourself understood so well in a video... Bravissimo Mahmood!!! ❤️❤️❤️
This is was I expected from you because is the same feeling that we had when we listened for the first time this song , overwhelming and soo contemporary .💐🎹🤗🤗
Yeah, you got it. I'm also struck by the fact that the cobra on the back the father's hand is what did it for you--that was also the clincher "moment" for me. That and the Arabic lyric. And the fact those two components were in such close proximity to each other. Wonderful reaction.
You could react to the music video of “Non mi avete fatto niente” by Ermal Meta and Fabrizio Moro, it was the Italian Eurovision entry from last year and it has a really powerful message if you have the subtitles
His father left him when he was a baby and when he became famous his father came running back to him because he wanted money that's why he says solidi which means all you want is money 💰
lyricstranslate.com/en/soldi-money.html It's really hot down in the suburbs Mama don't worry I'm on my way home You will be upset by a liar It looked like love to you, it was something else He's drinking champagne during Ramadan On tv they are airing Jackie Chan He's smoking Shisha and asks me how I'm doing He asks me how I'm doing doing doing You alredy know how things are going going going I think faster to try to figure out if you're going to fool me tomorrow I have no time to clear things up 'cause I finally found out what you are It hurts to be alive When you lose your pride You leave home out of the blue You, tell me if You only cared for the money money As if you had any money Tell me whether you miss me or you don't give a fuck You used to ask me how I was doing doing doing Now how are things going going going What you're supposed to say you haven't said yet Betrayal is a bullet in your chest Keep all the compassion to yourself You keep lyin' at home but you know she knows Sittin' there she'll be asking me Asking me how I'm doing doing doing She already knows how things are going going going I think faster to try to figure out if you're going to fool me tomorrow I have no time to clear things up 'cause I finally found out what you are It hurts to be alive when you lose your pride I figured it out in one second, from me You only wanted the money As if I had any money Back then you would talk to me till late You used to ask me how I'm doing doing doing Now how are things going going going My son, my son, darling, come over here [Arabic] You used to tell me while playing your games with pride My son, my son, darling, [Arabic] It felt so real to me Wanting to bring things back to what they were I didn't ask you for your money... It hurts to be alive When you lose your pride You leave home out of the blue You, tell me if Only cared for the money money As if I had any money You leave the city without anybody knowing Yesterday you were here, where are you now, papa? You ask me how I'm doing doing doing You already know how things are going going going
