Minimoog Lyrics in English by Caparezza, John De Leo

Home / Lyrics translation / Caparezza / Minimoog

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Minimoog by Caparezza from Italian to English.

(I don't recognise it)

(I don't recognise it) I don't recognise it

Eccomi, su di un letto, mi radono il petto

Here I am, on a bed, they shave my chest

Mi mettono gli elettrodi, iniettano gettiti

They put electrodes on me, inject shots

Sotto cute, loro sotto tute tipo Chernobyl

Subcutaneously, they in suits like Chernobyl

Danno vari comandi, mani con aghi colanti

They give various commands, hands with dripping needles

Calmanti che inalo, tutti davanti qui, Halo

Sedatives I inhale, everyone here in front, Halo

Più sangue che ad Halloween, i battiti in calo

More blood than at Halloween, heartbeats decreasing

Le lastre coi raggi X, di parti di cranio

X-ray scans, of parts of a skull

Raccolta d'urina come gli addetti in autogrill

Urine collection like the attendants at Autogrill

Accende indicatori, pulsioni sul led

It turns on indicators, impulses on the LED

Le bende, i tamponi, convulsioni, Tourette

The bandages, the swabs, convulsions, Tourette

Prelievo campioni tipo Rhythm Roulette

Sample collection like Rhythm Roulette

Già vedo dottori sulla mia silhouette

I already see doctors on my silhouette

E fitta, che vomito

And it stings, that I vomit

Zig zag nel monitor

Zig zag on the monitor

Bisturi sull'omero

Scalpel on the humerus

Oh, oh, omicron

I chirughi sono Mickey Rourke

The surgeons are Mickey Rourke

Io Miki Munch

I Miki Munch

Ho le loro dita addosso come un Minimoog

I have their fingers on me like a Minimoog

(I don't recognise it)

If you call my name, don't recognise it

If I look at my face, don't recognise it

If you call my name, don't recognise it

If I look at my face, face, face, face, face, face, face, face, face, face

Minimoog — Minimoog (a type of synthesizer)

Minimoog refers to a specific type of analog synthesizer, famous for its distinctive sound and pioneering role in electronic music. It's a highly specialized term that immediately signals a unique and intriguing lyrical landscape.

In the song, Caparezza uses "Minimoog" as a striking metaphor to describe his body being manipulated by doctors. He sings, "Ho le loro dita addosso come un Minimoog" (I have their fingers on me like a Minimoog), comparing the doctors' prodding and examination to a musician playing the keys and knobs of the synthesizer. This clever and unexpected comparison makes the word memorable and central to the song's theme of medical intervention and loss of control.
