For people who don’t know, the original song is actually by Nik Kershaw :-) This remix is very memorable though and it’s cool that so many people have the same nostalgic memories with it!
@@Matt-bf4wp I adore everything from Italy, but only the remix was made there. Nik Kershaw, the original artist, is English. Anyway, sending hugs from Brazil, friends! 🇧🇷
That's because it's gibberish. The song was originally written and preformed by Nik Kershaw. Here is what he said in an interview. What's the answer to "The Riddle"? It amazes me that people are still asking me this question. I spilled the beans a few years ago now so this isn't exactly news. My producer (Peter Collins) came over to my house just before we commenced recording on the second album to hear how I was getting on with the writing. He went away saying he thought it sounded great but didn't think I had the first single. Incensed by this, I went straight up to the spare room and got the chords and melody together for the Riddle. This must've taken all of twenty minutes. Knowing time was short before we started recording I jotted down some jibberish with the intention of writing the real lyric as we were recording it. About a week later we started recording and I threw a rough guide vocal down using the jibberish lyrics. As the album progressed, I tried various different lyric ideas but nothing seemed to fit as well as the guide lyric. So we decided to stick with what we had. "Let's call it the Riddle", I thought. Then people would think it was actually about something. I had completely underestimated the fuss this would cause and, to make matters worse, the marketing and promotions people at MCA decided to make a competition out of it (without telling me). The response was unbelievable. We got sack loads of mail with elaborate and detailed analysis of the song. Line by line, word by word. Some were the size of small novels. Some even made sense!! People stopped me in the street to give me their thoughts and theories. On one occasion I arrived to do a live Radio 1 interview with a certain DJ only to find he'd told the great British public that I would be "revealing all" on his show. He was most put out when I wouldn't (couldn't) co-operate. It all got a bit out of hand and, very quickly, passed the point at which I could come clean without pissing off a lot of people. In short, "The Riddle" is nonsense, rubbish, bollocks, the confused ramblings of an 80's popstar. Please forgive me. I knew not what I did.
No, you're this kind of Polish that cannot understand English what isn't good at all. Hopefully in this Country loads of people speaks English fluently.
+Enpharla Folgendes Problem... der Inhalt in sich macht im großen und ganzen nicht wirklich Sinn. xD Der Songwriter (dessen Namen ich natürlich vergessen habe) wechselt so oft zwischen Zusammenhängen, dass sich eigentlich keine zusammenstellen lassen. Du kannst dir also höchstens die Verse einzeln übersetzen, über den kompletten Track gesehen ist da jedoch sehr viel zusammengewürfelt worden. xD
I solved the riddle😁😁😁... it's a BOOK..the original song- "Near a tree by the river there is a hole in the ground"--->it's contents of the book. "For a strange kind of fashion there is a wrong and a right"-->different people different prespective.. "He will never ever fight to you"-->which is correct..book says what it says ... "I got plan for us"-->for lonely people who have no one only depend on books and make them their best friend. "wise men fighting over you"-->to prove the points. "To keep from burning hystory"-->all past is in book... "I got the time to kill...thanks to the the calling of the wild men"-->book have all the time and no matter who is it he can read it .. Everything point towards the quality of books... Like if you get what I mean..thank you
^@Congo. He straight up said the lyrics were filler until he came up with actual lyrics for it and he couldn't come up with lyrics before the song had to drop.
We had to dance to this in summer camp. Every morning and evening for weeks. Something akin to the choreography of macarena. It's not a bad song but I've come to hate it with a passion during that time. So why the fuck am I here listening to it AGAIN.
the song itself is from 1984 by Nik Kershaw, but this version is from 1999. There is also a version from Preiiso & Marvin published in 2009 and another one from Jack Holiday & Mike Candys from 2012.
the riddle is: ¿What i am? SOLVED ¡Is a BOOK! just take this word and re-listen the music: Wise man FOLD hes MIND is a BEACON in the veil of the night Pieces of valentines (Romantic novels) so... Yep, it is a book xD ¡¡Chaoo!! ;-)
Just few days ago i heard the original version, I actually know this Gigi's song since it came out. I knew this was a remix, but I didn't know this was a remix of an old song 😅
The "riddling" lyrics caused much puzzlement and speculation among listeners as to their meaning; Kershaw claims that there is in fact no meaning at all, simply being a "guide vocal" thrown together to fit the music.[4] Kershaw has stated: "In short, 'The Riddle' is nonsense, rubbish, b*ll*cks, the confused ramblings of an 80's popstar." [5]
robin kempener not rubbish you rubbish this song amazing you blaaaaaah your just doing because of jealousy oooooooooooh got ya there he's affending everyone who loves this song including me yeahhh
This song either original by nik Kershaw or remix by gigi d'agustino.....it become old day by day,and will pass to our son or maybe to our grandchildren.

Fun fact:
The creator of this song admitted that the lyrics never meant to make sence and is just a 'vocal guide' in his own words
Grue noncehelmet yup most of the lyrics doesn’t make sense
This is a remix though.
It makes perfect sense to me 🥰
Well
It's supossed to be a riddle xdd
Nik Kershaw created it
For people who don’t know, the original song is actually by Nik Kershaw :-) This remix is very memorable though and it’s cool that so many people have the same nostalgic memories with it!
i had no idea !!
With uncredited vocals by Adam Austin I'm this rendition!
Crazy how I remember the lyrics of a song I heard 7 years ago that are actually gibberish, and yet I cannot remember the answers for an exam 😌
Have you tried singing your notes?
Same 😌
Cuz They’re not in a song
It's not gibberish your exam is.

thepielovingnerd Well this is called the Riddle

Charles Wake I am Italian and it looks more strange in my language. trust me

This song is poesy, Gigi d'Ag is the best
It was actually not writted by him, he just as I would say DJ-ed it. It was writted by Nik Kershaw. There is a original song.
Feniksxx Ist es nicht genau umgekehrt? 😂
Daniel Lepuschitz Nop.
The best cover
yeah but his version is boring
gigi ha fatto vivere gioventu magiche
Love this song
I too

It's good that I'm Polish and I don't know the text.

it's a BOOK..the original song-

"For a strange kind of fashion there is a wrong and a right"-->different people different prespective..
"He will never ever fight to you"-->which is correct..book says what it says ...
"I got plan for us"-->for lonely people who have no one only depend on books and make them their best friend.
"wise men fighting over you"-->to prove the points.
"To keep from burning hystory"-->all past is in book...
"I got the time to kill...thanks to the the calling of the wild men"-->book have all the time and no matter who is it he can read it ..
Everything point towards the quality of books...
Like if you get what I mean..thank you
I mean, the creator of the original song stated that the lyrics explicitly made no sense
^@Congo.

Lets take a moment of people who are still trying to find this song . . .
such a beautiful song
with the right mind set, these are the words of a wise man.
*the best* choice of song to play around with. It works really well, the results are brilliant ^__^
I love it... This song is evry of me ♡
Myself and my friend love this song!
nice! I never would’ve gotten the lyrics without this!
How old is this song?

Diewac :This song appeared in RUclips in 2012 (I think...)
1999

Wise man FOLD
hes MIND is a BEACON in the veil of the night
Pieces of valentines (Romantic novels)

Yep, it is a book xD

There is no riddle, they didn t have time to make lyrics, imagine this lyrics as a placeholder for the real lytics
It would be a perfect battle song in a series or film

So what's the answer?
Blue.
I heard that the creator of the riddle said there was no real answer to it,weird.
The devil, think about it. Although they said there's no real answer.
Noone. It's just gibberish , there is no sense in the lyrics. The writer of the song said so
There is no answer, you can imagine these lyrics as a "placeholder"

l'd like to uderstand it at all..
Riddle 🔁
somebody has to explain what is this song talking about?
Enjoy!

He's quoting eric kershaw who originally wrote the song you dingus!
This song either original by nik Kershaw or remix by gigi d'agustino.....it become old day by day,and will pass to our son or maybe to our grandchildren.
that sounds a bit like a spell?
One of the best meaningless lyrics ever made.
