Urka Mazurka
Matrioska Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Minchia che turca ma il gatto ce la sporca
Urka mazurka c'è un gatto nella turca minchia che turca s'incazza come un'orca
Urka mazurka la turca che s'incazza,
Si ma è una turca, vabbè non è una tazza
Urka mazurka c'è un gatto che schifezza
Minchia sei pazza qua dentro nonn si stizza
Urka mazurka carambola di testa
Urka mazurka la palla fa una sospa
Minchia che turca la rete poi la pesta

The lyrics of "Urka Mazurka" by Matrioska may seem nonsensical and absurd at first, but upon closer examination, they speak to the chaos and frustration of everyday life. The song is essentially a stream-of-consciousness rant, with the repeated refrain of "Urka Mazurka" serving as a sort of mantra to help cope with the madness around them. The opening lines describe a cat causing a mess in a bathroom, but the true focus is on the overwhelming feeling of the situation. The singer exclaims "Minchia che turca" - a vulgar expression common in Italian dialects - which essentially means "what a mess!" The repetition of this phrase and variations of it throughout the song highlights the theme of feeling overwhelmed.
The song also touches on themes of frustration and madness. The line "s'incazza come un'orca" meaning "gets angry like a whale," is a humorous exaggeration of the cat's frustration, but also serves as a metaphor for how we often feel like we are drowning in our own emotions. The line "carambola di testa" meaning "head-on collision," is another metaphor for the chaos and unexpected events that can derail our lives. Ultimately, the song seems to suggest that in order to cope with the uncertainty and chaos of life, sometimes we just have to embrace the madness and let out a good "Urka Mazurka" scream.
