Alcune canzoni di MNEK rilasciate anni fa meritavano parecchio e, questa che ascolteremo oggi, non si discosta tantissimo da quei livelli.
Il cantautore britannico, a volte sottovalutato, ha pubblicato oggi un nuovo singolo dal titolo “Tongue“. I critici hanno giudicato positivamente questa canzone e ci credo, già dall’intro si capisce che MNEK non scherza con Tongue.
Il significato di Tongue
La traduzione di Tongue in italiano è lingua ma Tongue di MNEK è una canzone jam synth pop che parla di quel tipo di situazioni romantiche importanti. In pratica del momento in cui ti accorgi che quella persona farà parte della tua vita per sempre e quindi usi la lingua per dire le magiche parole: “Ti Amo“. Ma Tongue di MNEK spiega bene che spesso dire quelle parole non sempre aiuta le relazioni, o almeno spaventa molte persone che vogliono pronunciarle.
Il testo di Tongue di MNEK
Swimming pool of passion
Mutual attraction
We both know there is something going on
There is something going on
Didn’t wanna start this first with those three little words
‘Cause we both know there is something going on
But I don’t wanna play it wrong
So I’m not gonna say it
No, I don’t wanna say it
I don’t know how to take it
So I’mma try not to say it
‘Cause when I said it in the past
Each time it didn’t last
So I’mma try not to say it
But it feels like I might say it
So I’m putting both hands over my mouth
I can only hope nothing’s gonna come out
But there it is on the tip of my tongue
(I think I love you)
I think you’re the one
I’m putting both hands over my mouth
I can only hope nothing’s gonna come out
But there it is on the tip of my tongue
(I think I love you)
I think you’re the one
No big deal explaining how I feel
I don’t know why it is taking us so long
Why it’s taking us so long
So much hestiation for that kinda conversation
We both know there is something going on now
But we don’t wanna play it wrong
So I’m not gonna say it
So that’s not to say it
I don’t know how to take it
So I’mma try not to say it
‘Cause when I said it in the past
Each time it didn’t last
So I’mma try not to say it
But it feels like I might say it
So I’m putting both hands over my mouth
I can only hope nothing’s gonna come out
But there it is on the tip of my tongue
(I think I love you)
I think you’re the one
I’m putting both hands over my mouth
I can only hope nothing’s gonna come out
But there it is on the tip of my tongue
(I think I love you)
I think you’re the one
I’m putting both hands over my
I can only hope nothing’s gonna come out
But there it is on the tip of my tongue
(I think I love you)
I think you’re the one
I’m putting both hands over my mouth
I can only hope nothing’s gonna come out
But there it is on the tip of my tongue
(I think I love you)
I think you’re the one
Ticky-too-ticky-tee-ticky-ta-ta-ta
(I think I love you)
Tip of my tongue
Licky you, licky me, licky la-la-la
(I think I love you)
What’s on your tongue?
Ticky-too-ticky-tee-ticky-ta-ta-ta
(I think I love you)
I should bite my tongue
Licky you, licky me, licky la-la-la
(I think I love you)
You might be the one
You might be the one
(I think I love ya)
No, I’m not trying to say it
No, I don’t wanna say it
I’mma try not to say it
But it feels like I might say it
So I’m putting both hands over my mouth
I can only hope nothing’s gonna come out
But there it is on the tip of my tongue
(I think I love you
I think you’re the one)
Now I’m putting both hands over my
I can only hope nothing’s gonna come out
But there it is on the tip of my tongue
(I think I love you)
I think you’re the one
I’m putting both hands over my mouth
I can only hope nothing’s gonna come out, baby
But there it is on the tip of my tongue
(I think I love you)
I think you’re the one
Ticky-too-ticky-tee-ticky-ta-ta-ta
(I think I love you)
(Think I’m in love with you, baby)
Tip of my tongue
Licky you, licky me, licky la-la-la
(I think I love you)
What’s on your tongue?
Ticky-too-ticky-tee-ticky-ta-ta-ta
(I think I love you)
I should bite my tongue
Licky you, licky me, licky la-la-la
(I think I love you)
I think you’re the one
