Lo chiamavano king
Luis Bacalov feat. Rocky Roberts Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
He had a horse
Along the countryside
I saw him ride
He had a gun
I knew him well
Oh, I heard him singing
His name was King (his name was King)
He had a brother (he had a brother)
His only brother
A peaceful guy
One day they found him
His shirt was red
Two shiny bullets
They found his brother dead
You can't see King
Whoa, he's riding
You can't see King
That man is searching
Got to fight his anger
Find in his eyes
Sure to find that killer
Looking for the man
His name was King (his name was King)
He had a brother (he had a brother)
His only brother
A peaceful guy
One day they found him
His shirt was red
Two shiny bullets
They found his brother dead
You can't see King
Whoa, he's riding
You can't see King
That man is searching
Got to fight his anger
Find in his eyes
Sure to find that killer
Looking for the man
His name was King (his name was King)
He had a horse (he had a brother)
Along the countryside
I saw him ride
He had a gun
Oh, I knew him well
And when he shot
Oh that man, he never missed
Ride on King, ride
You get your man
The song "Lo Chiamavano King" by Luis Bacalov featuring Rocky Roberts tells the story of a man known as King who is on a mission to avenge his brother's death. The song begins by describing King as a strong and powerful figure with a horse and a gun, who is admired by the people he encounters along the countryside. We also learn that King is a man with a loving heart, as he is heard singing and pining after someone special.
However, the tone of the song takes a darker turn when we find out that King's brother has been killed, and he is now on a mission to find the killer. The lyrics describe King's intense emotions, his anger and his obsession in finding the person responsible for his brother's death. The chorus is a nod to the fact that King is a man who is feared and respected in equal measure, as he rides through the countryside in search of his revenge.
Overall, the song captures the essence of the Spaghetti Western genre, with its western-style guitar riffs and dramatic storytelling. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a man with a tragic past, who is now determined to right the wrongs done to his family.
