Cena con delitto
Magazine du Kakao Lyrics

The song "Cena con delitto" by Magazine du Kakao is about the experience of having a murder mystery dinner, where the guests try to solve a fictitious murder case while enjoying their meal. The title translates to "Dinner with a crime" and the lyrics describe the singer's enjoyment of this unique and unconventional dining experience. The metaphor of the dinner being like a rented uterus implies that it provides a warm and comfortable space for the singer, and the phrase "mi rende congeniale e quindi poco banale" suggests that it makes the situation less ordinary and more interesting.

The second verse describes the physical consequences of the dinner, with the singer’s stomach and parietal zone already in distress before the meal begins. The use of "olio di fegato di merluzzo," which translates to cod liver oil, indicates that perhaps the menu is not particularly appetizing. Despite the discomfort, the singer still enjoys the experience and appreciates the combination of friendship and conflict that makes for a "cocktail micidiale," or deadly cocktail.

The outro, which is in French, seems to be a nod to the fact that the murder mystery dinner concept originated in France. The verses describe the wind blowing, singing, and dancing, perhaps setting the stage for the intriguing and unpredictable events that take place during the dinner. The final lines, "alla fina possiam stare coricati a vegetare," mean "in the end, we can lie down and vegetate," suggesting that the experience is exhausting but satisfying.
