Text and meaning of Melodrama, Angelina Mango and the escape from boredom in search of a gypsy life

Angelina Mango is approaching her first official album, poke melodrama, with the final single before the project’s release next week. We are talking about melodrama, a single already presented last May 18th on the Amici stage during the final of the broadcast. The song, produced by Giovanni Pallotti, aka EDD and Cripowsky, blends electronics and reggaeton drums in a fast-paced rhythm, recounting the singer’s desire to escapefrom the woods of Lagonegro “chasing adrenaline” to that meeting that never made her escape to Holland. Here are the lyrics and the meaning of Melodrama.

The text of Melodrama

I still feel a lump in my throat
My land won’t let go of me
Maybe I should go back to school
Fix broken voice
A lady leaning against the window
He talks to me about the summer, he complains, but what an effort
I’ve always been a clumsy person
Lagonegro, in the woods chasing adrenaline
Stuck in the mouth of the hourglass
Time doesn’t affect me, but self-esteem
It suffocates me, my skin doesn’t breathe
It’s a plug, mhm

Ammò, don’t be sad, you knew I was a bit messed up
Sorry if I give the worst of myself, I’ll get over it later
God can’t see us, but you make me feel calm
And I will follow you where the sea collides with the south wind
I want a life of melodrama
A gypsy’s life (Au)
Make mistakes later, learn first
Mеlodrama, melodrama (Au)
He doesn’t want gala evenings
A drama queen in the room (Au)
I want evenings without make-up
Melodrama, less drama
​
The courtyard was beautiful
It was good to suffer
With burning shoulders, hug me again
Before you
I wanted to go to Holland
Run away
To become someone else
Luckily now
I can’t live without you anymore
And that face you make
What’s your face?

Ammò, don’t be sad, you knew I was a bit messed up
Sorry if I give the worst of myself, I’ll get over it later
God doesn’t want us, but you don’t know what he’s talking about
And I will follow you where the sea collides with the south wind
I want a life of melodrama
A gypsy’s life (Au)
Make mistakes later, learn first
Melodrama, melodrama (Au)
He doesn’t want gala evenings
A drama queen in the room (Au)
I want evenings without make-up
Melodrama, less drama
[Post-Ritornello]
Hey, melodrama, less drama
(As a gypsy, as a gypsy)

Ammò, don’t be sad, you knew I was a bit messed up
Sorry if I give the worst of myself, I’ll get over it later
God doesn’t want us, but you don’t know what he’s talking about
And I will follow you where the sea collides with the south wind

And I will follow you where the sea collides with the south wind

The meaning of Melodrama

Melodrama it was produced by EDD and Cripowsky, while the song was written in collaboration with some giants of the Italian authorial world: Federica Abbate, Alessandro La Cava and Nicola Lazzarin. More than a song, a premonition of what would happen: in the song Angelina Mango underlines some passages of her growth. Like when she sings: “I’ve always been a clumsy girl, Lagonegro, in the woods chasing adrenaline stuck in the mouth of the hourglass“. The desire to escape, a life far away, perhaps in Hollandand that love that holds her close there: “Before you I wanted to go to Holland, run away to become someone else, thank goodness I no longer live there without you“.
