Song 38 // Madame - "MAREA"
Suid van jou liggaam
Suid van jou liggaam
I spent the end of summer driving around Italy and basking in the hot summer sun. “MAREA” by the Italian singer Madame is one of the songs we had on our playlist as we drove across southern Italy. It’s also one that’s had a hold on me ever since I first heard it.
Sarà, sarà l'oasi in mezzo al Sahara
Sarà pioggia e nubi dal mar
Sarà un corso d'acqua in salita, salita
Samba, coi tuoi occhi samba
Labbra nella carne, fiori nella sabbia, eh, eh
Madame’s singing takes an intoxicating tone, much like her direct references to Calypso, over the minimalist beat that repeats throughout the song like the rising and falling of the tide.
Mama, liberata dal karma
Calipso, fai l'alta marea (Marea)
A sud nelle tue labbra
Foresta, caligo, marea (Marea)
