Mental health is important (but neglected) is one of the messages of this song, which was wrote and composed by the artist herself. Hopefully your baby kid will live in better society. Thanks for the reaction. love from Serbia
Yesss to this comment! I know... it is such a taboo topic and yet, we all go through it somehow. Loved this song and how she puts it out there. Thank you for your message! And wishes for your family! Big hug to you!
Yes, she is saying: What is the secret of Meghan Markle's great looking hair (*as women mostly read about such things trying to look better) She is speaking about obsession with looks and bodily health, whereas we are forgetting the mental health. So it is not really about the pandemic but yes, also the excessive fear and washing hands while our mental state is forgotten. She also mentioned her walk with her dog, the simplicity of the moment, while the heart beats (and she puts trust in her heart cause it's all she can do since she has no health insurance as an artist - umetnica mora biti zdrava - the artist must be healthy). She also asks, how will they monitor me since the artist is invisible to the health system. Bože zdravlja, the chant, means God give us health. Hope it helped to understand better :) It is a very Avantgarde performance, unusual for the Eurovision, but seems to be appreciated more and more, so tomorrow we'll see. She made this song not particularly for this competition, and yet it is very successful, people are catching the meaning.
Yesss! I watched it the first time so to see the performance but after translating it, I watched it a few times more and the message is so strong, so bold and risky and I hope it gets the popularity it deserves. It isnt just a simple Eurovision song! I love it! Looking forward to tonight's performance! Thank you Milan for sharing!
Konstrakta's song is part two out of three that form a piece called "Triptih". Her performance has nothing to do with Megan Markle, hydration, politics or covid, it's performance art that is intelligent, quirky and constructed from top to bottom to perfection. It's not weird nor funny, it's art. It's created to make people stop and think about life for a second, it's there to provoke, not to soothe or kill time. In those three songs she's describing a life of grown woman in Serbia, and likely in this World. First part "Noble" is talking about society labels as "be emancipated", "speak foreign language", "know peculiar information about places you never visited" where the chorus is describing the sad reality that she is all alone, looking at the mirror, crying and thinking about a headline in magazine "Sharon Stone does not take botox" meaning, oh she must be as ordinary as me - a masterpiece song. Second part "In corpore sano" describes a woman after reading a woman magazine with a clickbait title "What's the secret of random celebrity perfect health?" (in this case she chose Megan Markle, but any name works). Very often in those magazines you "find out" that some skin imperfection might be there due to poor health of some of your internal organs, i.e spleen, gut or liver. Verse "enlarged spleen is not good, not pretty" is trying to say "not only I may be sick, I am ugly too!" and it really describes a transition young woman go through in early middle age (Konstrakta is 43, mother of two), when beauty standard obsession is getting substituted by health obsession. So she frantically and compulsively starts singing "be healthy, be healthy, be healthy ..." and song just gets better, she becomes grateful for autonomic nervous system and how body takes care of itself, but paranoia kicks again "be healthy, be healthy, be healthy", she prays to God, even that is not enough. Than a sudden stop in rhythm where she is faced with possibility that she might stop belonging to the system (i.e not have public health insurance), how will she be taken care of? Song finale is self - revelation where Latin proverb is twisted to say that although your body will end up healthy after all paranoia, your mind will become sad, sick, desperate and frightened. This song resonates with every single woman and man in Serbia in their 40s because that is exactly how life looks at that age. It's all about being healthy at any cost, while completely neglecting mental health. It's sad that subtitles are not available on the Eurosong, because this song has nothing to do with politics, nothing to do with Megan Markle (apart as critique to mass media), and absolutely nothing to do with covid situation - it's a universal, intelligently packed recap of middle age life. Third part "Mekano" which translates as "Soft", although better translation would be "Limp", talks about everyday life and the way people live in their 40s. You work, you eat, you repeat same patterns day to day, while trying to belong to "intellectual elite" by discussing about neoliberalism, being individual and original, while in truth you are just dying out in your "comfort zone". Chorus "mekano, nek je prokleto" translates "soft should be cursed" meaning "curse the comfort zone", and this song is insanely strong due to its melody, it sounds soothing and like something you'd listen to fall asleep. This perfectly describes someone stuck in the comfort zone, you are stuck, you know you are stuck, you curse it, but your voice is still numbed, slowed and soothing. Exactly how comfort zone and depression feel like. Absolute masterpiece that is by far the most intelligent song that ever featured in Eurovision.
@@balkatinos In corpore sano" is NOT about the pandemic and it's NOT about Serbian healthcare system... The song addresses the conflating of health and beauty, it's about the fixation on the physical health and its beautiful external harbingers to the very exclusion of the mental health (no one cares about the bespoke Duchess' mental health, we read only about her OMG healthy-looking hair. Btw, a reference/quote of the title of an actual newspaper article...) By stating the imperative "umetnica MORA biti zdrava" - an artist MUST be healthy, she echoes the media unrelentingly imposing unrealistic beauty=health=beauty standards. Konstrakta does indeed say "an artist", as an homage to Marina Abramović and her performance act "The art is beautiful, so the artist must be beautiful" but she implicitly points at the health=beauty compulsion in all of us life-artists. On a powerful, yet completely subliminal level, the closing verses are a whistle-blower for the current toxic trend of perceiving health and healthcare (even mental) not as a universal greater good, but as commodities to be craved and consumed by... well, us [confused and dehumanized mass of] consumers. Notice how in the second pre-chorus she slips an almost imperceptible twist: "umetnica MOŽE biti zdrava" an artist CAN be healthy, i.e. also without compulsively "consuming" healthcare ("nemam knjižicu": no health-insurance, left on my own). The Latin saying "...mens sana in corpore sano", is torn out of context and today usually interpreted to mean "a sound mind lives in a healthy body", but in the original Juvenal's text it reads "orandum est ut sit mens sana in corpore sano": a sound mind in a healthy body is all one should pray for. How's that for a twist?!
@@dererzherzog Amazing! I say you gave me a great words to translate into Spanish and explain to my friends about this. I assumed it goes waaaay deeper than I could understand, even if I can catch some serbian words. can you explain something about lack of health insurance for artist in Serbia? I heard somewhere she makes reference to that when she mentions the "health card"? To be honest, mentioning Megan Merkle in the beginning threw me off but makes sense after translating a few times. Thank you for taking the time!!!!!
Stand up??? No, no, no, hija, no te confunda, por favor... Pues, Chanel does the getting up and things. Serbs, they sit, get served and play smart talking about heavy subjects. Really, you must have learned that by now... ;)
Queen SERBIA Konstrakta 🇷🇸🇷🇸🇷🇸🇷🇸
