Che fine ha fatto il Subbuteo

Una canzone di Mapuche

A song by Mapuche. The band from Catania help us to relive games and fantasy; the endless challenges with friends, but also the games played alone, recreating the scoring actions seen on television and imagining those heard live on the radio.

"A nostalgic, perhaps unconscious homage to that historical period, to the years of my tender and carefree childhood. The song's reiterated and even obsessive question mark is probably more about the life back then, rather than the game itself. One evening, while we were having dinner, I, Giovanni, Ila and Roberta, decided to make a video of the song. The idea was to emphasise the cheerful and delusional tones of the text, with the addition of other bizarre elements. We transformed a living room into a rudimentary field of Subbuteo, with the faces of some friends as the various strange characters of the song"

Enrico Lanza aka MAPUCHE

This song played as the closing credits rolled for the Subbuteopia documentary, celebrating the crowdfunding supporters.

Lyrics

È da un po’ che ci penso
È da un po’ che ne parlo
Sopratutto quando guardo il meteo

È da un po che mi scervello
Senza venirne a capo
Quando sento i denti del prete ateo

Che fine ha fatto il Subbuteo?
Che fine ha fatto davvero
Che fine ha fatto il Subbuteo?
Non lo vedo da un anno intero

Che fine ha fatto il Subbuteo
Che fine ha fatto davvero
Che fine ha fatto il Subbuteo
Non lo vedo da un anno intero

Invece penso ogni tanto
Quando giocavo in bagno
Con il messina accanto alla latrina
E se il bilancio in fondo
Non mi è rimasto più niente
Solo il prete e del fluidificante

Che fine ha fatto il Subbuteo
Che fine ha fatto davvero
Che fine ha fatto il Subbuteo
Non lo vedo da un anno intero

Che fine ha fatto il Subbuteo
Da un anno intero

I've been thinking about it for a while
I've been talking about it for a while
Especially when I look at the weather

I've been puzzling for a while
Without coming to terms with it
When I feel the teeth of the atheist priest

What happened to Subbuteo?
What happened to it really
What happened to Subbuteo?
I haven't seen him for a whole year

What happened to Subbuteo
What happened to it really
What happened to Subbuteo
I haven't seen him for a whole year

Instead I think every now and then
When I used to play in the bathroom
With the messina next to the latrine
And if the budget at the bottom
I have nothing left
Just the priest and some thinner

What happened to Subbuteo
What happened to it really
What happened to Subbuteo
I haven't seen him for a whole year

What happened to Subbuteo
For a whole year
