[@GloriaVictisDiesIlla]

Regarding "Esta vida loca / a mirar la foca / asando un salmòn / norwegian reggaeton", when they say "a mirar la foca" they refer to the title of a trashy italian comedy movie from the 70s entitled "Viva la foca, che Dio la benedoca" which is a self-censored way to say "viva la fica, che dio la benedica" (long live pussy, may god bless it), and changing the vowels fica becomes foca (seal) and benedica becomes benedoca which doesn't mean anything thereby revealing where the trick lays (that o's stand for i's and foca actually means fica). So "a mirar la foca" can refer to living your life with that summer vibe looking for pussy, and "asando un salmòn" might be related to it because of fish being tipically used, at least in italian but not only, as one of the animal references of choice for phallic symbolisms and innuendos, so probably asando un salmòn (and by the way asando sounds similar to the italian "alzando", raising) refers to an erection in reaction to having mirado la foca. It may be weird that they would put italian references that aren't really comprehensible abroad in the middle of lyrics written in another language, but then again they always did it, it's like "falegn-amen" in Valhalleluja, where 'amen' is fused with the italian 'falegname' which stands for 'carpenter'. They never prioritized being too comprehensible to their audience, they are super-spontaneous with their lyrics and after all they were born as a cover band of various metal classics with changed lyrics in italian and then they would make other songs about random nonsensical stuff and yet other songs that in order to be enjoyed, given the humongous amount of in-jokes and references, require you to be a nerdy superfan of Rhapsody, Manowar, Helloween and Blind Guardian. They just don't care and wanna have fun. Pleeease react to "And then I noticed that she was a gargoyle"! PS: By the way, the guy in the picture IS daddy yankee!

[@Mastice81]

GloriaVictisDiesIlla Che cuore che hai avuto a spiegare il tutto... Respect!

[@barlafus1980]

I guess "andando un salmòn" Is because of the stereotype that salmon Is norwegian...at least in italy

[@goodsideevilside]

I never thought that asando could have been a pun for alzando! :o

[@GloriaVictisDiesIlla]

@@goodsideevilside Nobody with mental sanity would think that I guess, but since we're talking Nanowar they like to have fun that way hahah. I think it's likely only because of the context and meaning of the rest, mirar la foca asando un salmòn.. for an italian the 'foca' reference is unmistakeable, and if foca is pussy and the salmon is a fish.. it's bound to mean that, I think. It's like falegn-amen, you would think "wait this song is not just or mainly for italians, people will be confused by this and nobody will get the point", but they just don't care and do it anyway! :D so yeah I'd bet that's what they were thinking.

[@FabrizioBalliano]

@GloriaVictisDiesIlla your comment is just great! every non-italian person should get this explanation when listening to the song :-) (the "got talent" people too...)

[@juanfemarula]

I think this song exists just to troll every possible human being. The lyrics try to combine the contents from two genres that are completely opposite: one that uses lyrics about winter, darkness and Satanism, the other one sings about the Caribbean, parties and sexualizing women. If separate, both genres generate controversy in different groups of people. But combined, I believe it is the perfect balance of chaos. They are the greatest trolls.

[@steinafl]

Norway is the reason we have salmon sushi. Our export goes Oil - Salmon - Black metal

[@karolinaneznamy7929]

there's a Swedish parody party called "Satanistiskt Initiativ" that congratulated Norway on its day saying literraly this... it goes like "Norge: Svartmetall, sälklubbning och öljeborrning. Ett föredöme för oss alla.", which means "Norway: black metal, seal-clubbing and oil-drilling. An example for us all", according to my friends

[@erkkinho]

Still, I wonder why you are entitled to the oil that is 1000 kms from your shore (this goes for all oil producers). For the rest, I love you my wonderful neighbors. Jeg elsker Norge. (Was that correct... I just have a hunch of Norwegian).

[@baredas]

@@erkkinho That's because the oil is situated on what's called the continental shelf. These are shallow sea areas and are actually part of the mainland continental crust and thus also part of that nations economic zone.

[@Karldin83]

@@erkkinho There is a whole set of complicated rules about resources both in and under the sea, continental shelf and all that. Some countries are building artificial islands in strategic places just to claim more sea for themselves. A channel named Atlas Pro has a couple of good videos about this

Hi! I'm from Argentina, and as an english teacher and italian transalator (and metalhead also) the spanish lyric is quite accurate at the salmon part. Not also rimes but also makes sense, also huge fan of Nanowar. Great review!

[@Jdiegar1]

Hey guys! I'm actually from Spain, and the lyrics do make sense. They rhyme of course, but the reason for saying the salmon thing is that salmon is very typical and usual from Norway and nordic countries (actually they sell a lot of norweiggian salmon in Ikea, which is Swedish). The rapping part i don't know if you got it, it is difficult to understand because they use references and extrange twists of words to make it funnier, like "nórdico latino, qué luciferino". It's hard to explain, but it's very funny 😆 This has been an absolute hit at least in Spain. In festivals, these guys rocketed to the most important places just because of this song. I love that you reacted to this, i hope some other reacting channels start doing it too 😆😆😆

[@johhnylemon4003]

im guessing that "grilling a salmon" is a metaphor for sex, like the rapping part thats all Norwegian themed sex references.

[@cesaresbardellotto6441]

"Esta vida loca, a mirar la foca Asando un salmón, Norwegian Reggaetón" I'll try to explain this: first sentence translated in english, "This crazy life, watching the seal", means pretty nothing. That's because it's a pun between italian and spanish: in italy we say "fica", which is a way to call women genitalia, referring to a very very attractive girl, so they used the word "foca" because it refer to "fica" by consonance. So it becomes "This crazy life, watching the chicks" (my poor english don't let me translate it in a better way without being vulgar). Second sentence "Grilling a salmon, Norwegian Raggaeton", well this is pretty clear, salmon-Norway , and if i'm not wrong probably seals eat salmon too. There are layers and layers of reference and puns in this song ... Nanowar are geniuses!

[@johhnylemon4003]

i would bet that grilling a salmon is a metaphor for sex. similar to the rapped verse thats all norweigian themed sex references. salmon relates to norway and also to vaginas, which are often said to smell like fish...

"esta vida loca a mirar la foca" refer to the italian word for the sexual female organ (fica)

[@marcm5207]

The spanish parts, the same as the english ones, tend to talk about traditionally norweggian and/or metal things (hypothermia, midnight sun, Raganrok Beach, desecrating tombs, Fenriz, Darkthrone, polar killer whale, roasting a salmon, watching seals, etc) mixed with latin american/reggaeton stuff (cubalibre, summer fiesta, the rumba beat, the crazy life and so on). It is indeed a praody both of metal and reggaeton. And a hell of a song.
