Totallympics Open International Song Contest 2023


 Share

Recommended Posts

31 nations in right now, if I didn't lose track.

 

@Glen and @Ionoutz24 could still possibly appear, they don't tend to miss TISC. 

 

@Federer91 and Bulgaria missing also seems unusual.

 

And with so many users from India, you'd expect someone would come through to represent.

 

I always wonder though why new users seem disinterested in this event and we don't usually see newcomers often :/

It's ten year anniversary so it would be nice if at least some of the old guards are still around to celebrate the longevity of this gathering. Twelve and a half years of Totallympics, ten years of TISC! 

I'm here :cool: since March 2012 :old:

:ITA Toto Cutugno - L'Italiano  :ITA

(1983 - Written: Cristiano Minellono; Toto Cutugno)

 

 

 

 

English translation

Spoiler

Let me sing
with the guitar in the hand
Let me sing
I’m an Italian

 

Good morning Italy, spaghetti al dente      >>> the degree of cooking of the pasta (spaghetti)
And a partisan as president                        >>> Alessandro "Sandro" Pertini, president of Italian Republic 1978/1985
With the car radio always in my right hand
And a canary above the window

 

Good morning Italy with your artists
With too much America on the posters
With the songs, with love, with the heart
With more women fewer and fewer nuns

 

Good morning Italy, good morning Maria
With eyes full of melancholy
Good morning God
You know I‘m here too

 

Let me sing
With the guitar in the hand
Let me sing
a song very slowly
Let me sing
Because I‘m proud of it
I’m an Italian
A real Italian

 

Good morning Italy that doesn‘t get scared
And with the mint shaving cream
With a blue pinstripe suit
And the moviola on Sunday on TV           >>> The Moviola is a device that allows to study individual shots (in this case for analyze the football matches)
Good morning Italy with ristretto coffee
New socks in the first drawer
With the flag at the dry cleaners
And a 600 with the body down                >>> A model of car: Fiat 600

 

Good morning Italy, good morning Maria
With eyes full of melancholy
Good morning God
You know I‘m here too

 

Let me sing
With the guitar in the hand
Let me sing
a song very slowly
Let me sing
Because I‘m proud of it
I’m an Italian
A real Italian

 

 

Italian Text

Spoiler

Lasciatemi cantare
Con la chitarra in mano
Lasciatemi cantare
Sono un italiano

 

Buongiorno Italia, gli spaghetti al dente
E un partigiano come presidente
Con l'autoradio sempre nella mano destra
Un canarino sopra la finestra

 

Buongiorno Italia con i tuoi artisti
Con troppa America sui manifesti
Con le canzoni, con amore, Con il cuore
Con più donne e sempre meno suore

 

Buongiorno Italia, buongiorno Maria
Con gli occhi pieni di malinconia
Buongiorno Dio
Lo sai che ci sono anch'io

 

Lasciatemi cantare
Con la chitarra in mano
Lasciatemi cantare
Una canzone piano piano
Lasciatemi cantare
Perché ne sono fiero
Sono un italiano
Un italiano vero

 

Buongiorno Italia che non si spaventa
Con la crema da barba alla menta
Con un vestito gessato sul blu
E la moviola la domenica in TV
Buongiorno Italia col caffè ristretto
Le calze nuove nel primo cassetto
Con la bandiera in tintoria
E una 600 giù di carrozzeria  >> A model of car: Fiat 600
 
Buongiorno Italia, buongiorno Maria
Con gli occhi pieni di malinconia
Buongiorno Dio
Lo sai che ci sono anch'io

 

Lasciatemi cantare
Con la chitarra in mano
Lasciatemi cantare
Una canzone piano piano
Lasciatemi cantare
Perché ne sono fiero
Sono un italiano
Un italiano vero
