Contessa, sung by Decibel, an Italian punk rock band formed in 1977, was played in the first episode of Musitaly: Sanremo & 80’s.
The song is a kind of dedication to a mean woman. However, someone think this is a dedication to Renato Zero, another great Italian musician.
We don’t know the truth behind this song. What we can assume for sure it’s that this song is AMAZING.
The band is still active.

Decibel – Contessa [Original Version]
Non puoi più pretendere di avere tutti quanti attorno a te
Non puoi più trattare i tuoi amanti come fossero bignè
Vuoi solo le cose che non hai
parli delle cose che non sai
cerchi di giocare ma non puoi
pensi solamente ai fatti tuoi
Chi sei contessa?
Tu non sei più la stessaVuoi che io rimanga nel tuo letto per poi sbattermi su e giù
Non ti lamentare se domani non ti cercheremo più
Ma vorrei soltanto averti qui
sei accattivante già così
ti difendi con il D.D.T.
fai pesare troppo quei tuoi “sì”
Chi sei contessa?
Tu non sei più la stessa
Pensi che ogni cosa di concreto sia da riferire a te
tu fai la misteriosa per nascondere un segreto che non c’è
Ma nel tuo castello come va?
Vivi la tua vecchia nobiltà
non sai neanche tu la verità
vendi a caro prezzo la realtà
Nel tuo castello come va?
Vivi la tua vecchia nobiltà
non sai neanche tu la verità
vendi a caro prezzo la realtà
Decibel – Contessa [English Translation]
You can’t no longer pretend to have all around you
You can’t no longer treat your lovers as if they were beignet
You want only things you haven’t got
You talk about things that you don’t know
You try to play, but you can’t
You think only your business
Who are you, countess?
You are no longer the same
You want that I stay in your bed, to go up and down
Don’t complain if tomorrow we will not look for you more
But I’d like only having you here
You are attractive just in this way
You defend yourself with D.D.T
You make your “yes” too heavy
Who are you, countess?
You are no longer the same
You think that every real thing is to dedicate to you
You are mysterious to hide a secret that does not exist
But what ‘s up in your castle?
You live your ancient nobility
You don’t even know the truth
You sell the truth at heavy price
You think that every real thing is to dedicate to you
You are mysterious to hide a secret that does not exist
But what ‘s up in your castle?
You live your ancient nobility
You don’t even know the truth
You sell the truth at heavy price
