cotulu — I shake myself / I roll around

Cotulu is a dialectal word from Salento, a region in Southern Italy, meaning "I shake myself" or "I roll around." It's not standard Italian, which makes it interesting and unique to this song.

In the lyrics, the artist sings "E subbra lu palcu me cotulu," which translates to "And on the stage I shake myself/roll around." It vividly describes the energetic and dynamic performance of the artist on stage, embodying the raw energy of reggae and dancehall music.
