Kant by Mirana Conte

I’m feeling some discomfort in my hands, but I’m committed to getting this post started. I’ll be typing on my phone, so please bear with me if there are any spelling mistakes or grammar issues I might overlook. As I hinted in previous posts, I’m not a fan of the Eurovision, but I enjoy my sister’s commentary on everything. By the way, I’m worried about offending some British people since I’m mentioning a BBC article.

As you can see from the title, Mariana Conte’s Kant was the winning song. The controversy started when the BBC pointed out that the word ‘kant’ in English isn’t a nice word, but we aren’t talking about a song with British origins. ‘Kant’ in Maltese means singing, so I don’t get the censorship provided by Eurovision. As far as I know, the song was submitted as is, which I believe is correct. I mean, if we had to change all the literature that was poorly translated, we would have to change half the literature written.

Kant Lyrics:

I’ve got a secret you should know

Come a little close, I’ll whisper slow

I’ve got a secret you should know

(Shhh shhh shhh shhh)

People say don’t be so loud

Watch the words coming out your mouth

Hands crossed don’t dare stand out

(Follow the crowd – follow the crowd)

Pull up pull up make all em bow down

Shut up shut up I’ma be real loud

Get up get up I don’t back down

(Follow me now – follow me now)

Pre-Chorus

Only lovers no enemies

Feel it round me queen energy

In my power a higher me

Here’s the secret the remedy

Chorus 

Why should we let other people decide

When we could be having the time of our lives

Let down your walls, come and dance to my vibe

I do it all the time – yeah I do it all the time

Serving KANT

La-la-la-la-la

Do-re-mi-fa-s-s-serving KANT

La-la-la-la-la

Do-re-mi-fa-s-s-serving KANT

They say no, do the opposite

That’s it

Give up, give up,  this girl don’t quit

Follow me now

Pre-Chorus

Only lovers no enemies

Feel it round me queen energy

Here’s our secret remedy

Chorus 

Why should we let other people decide

When we could be having the time of our lives

Let down your walls, come and dance to my vibe

I do it all the time – yeah I do it all the time – yeah I do it all the time

Serving Kant

La-la-la-la-la

Do-re-mi-fa-s-s-serving Kant

La-la-la-la-la

Do-re-mi-fa-s-s-serving Kant

I’ve got a secret you should know

Do-re-mi-fa-so

I’ve got a secret you should know

Do-re-mi-fa-so

Why should we let other people decide

When we could be having the time of our lives

Let down your walls, come and dance to my vibe

I do it all the time – yeah I do it all the time

Serving Kant

La-la-la-la-la

Do-re-mi-fa-s-s-serving Kant

La-la-la-la-la

Do-re-mi-fa-s-s-serving Kant

The Life of Music:

The life of music

Is something that a human lives

In different colours

Every time we put an earbud in our ear

Depending on the mood

We want to hear

In happiness and sadness

Like a holding hand

Freeing you from the world

Even if for a few beats
