Nord est
Sir Oliver Skardy Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ricco e generoso Nord Est
Caricatura del vecio Far west
Fiore selvaggio della prateria
Chi prima lo vede prima lo porta via
L'amore universale?….Il mondo una tribu?
Ormai son solo fiabe che de moda no va più
Se fossi in voi mi iscriverei al klub dei miliardari
Se non sarete tali, saranno cazzi amari
Tirati e impomatati, apatici, asciutti
Il trend dei giochi erotici son voci ma per tutti
Amore lungo i fossi 'na fregola in scarsela
Conta i tocchi grossi al resto xe monea
Refrain: Sono l'uomo della foresta
Tra i piantatuberi che s'à montà la testa
Sono l'uomo del Nord Est
Sadomaso pornostar da far west
C'è la terza età che del campo fa padrone
Cerchi la misura? C'è pure l'inserzione
Cambio di stagione cambio di bandiera
Pronti, zi badrone e tapeo par tera
Gransi-gnori, gran dotori, vip di gran galà
Cambia solo i attori, el palco no xe mai cambià
Cosmetici, calendari, piloti, calciatori
Quotati gli evasori, tirapiedi e informatori
Bridge: Va de moda el papà divorsià e posissionà
Mister brutto ceffo, el sindaco sceriffo
El buttafuori del king, el paron del bodygim
I diretori de la omnitel e de la tim
Refrain:
Conto da paura e i te segue in procession
Clima de clausura sotto xe un decameron
Esodo vacanze tutti in coda in autostrada
Chi no se lo permette resta sconto chiuso in casa
Tera de bigotti, matti par la disciplina
Pronti all'avventura ma xe meio 'na sveltina
Ciuffi in dopiopetto a produsion industrial




Poco tempo in letto, el più in uficio o in tangensial
Refrain:

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Sir Oliver Skardy's song Nord est ('Northeast') are a biting critique of the culture and society of Italy's northeastern regions, which the singer portrays as a caricature of the 'wild west.' The first verse paints a picture of a rich and generous land, but one that is also cutthroat and competitive, where love and universal values have been replaced by the pursuit of wealth and power. Skardy points out the irony of this situation, suggesting that those who don't aspire to be part of the billionaire club will be left behind in a world that values superficiality and slickness over substance and depth.


The chorus describes the singer as an 'man of the forest,' a marginalized figure among the cultivated and cosmopolitan elite of the northeast. Skardy is portrayed as a sadomasochistic pornstar, an outsider in a world where success often comes at the cost of moral compromises and conformity. The second verse expands on this theme, highlighting the dominance of older and established figures in the region, and the changing of the guard that takes place as new actors and players emerge on the scene. The bridge names a number of these figures, from divorced fathers to powerful businessmen and politicians, who have become the symbols of success in the northeast.


Overall, Skardy's lyrics are a scathing indictment of the culture and values of Italy's northeast, and a call to resist the pressures of conformity and materialism that dominate the region.
