The song "Arbusto Di Crauti (Non È Bucolico)" by Duo Bucolico seems to convey a message about the contrast between the modern, urban lifestyle and the simplicity and natural beauty of the countryside. The lyrics list various activities, people, and things that are considered non-bucolic, meaning they do not align with the idyllic and rustic characteristics associated with rural life.
The verses mention things like eating shrimp, Coco Chanel, having weak muscles, waiting in traffic, using air conditioning, getting married in church, using GPS, and even reading Gramsci or using cocaine. These examples represent aspects of modern life, urbanization, consumerism, and societal norms that are seen as contradictory to the bucolic ideal.
The recurring hook emphasizes the singer's realization of being alive while appreciating the stars, comparing themselves to a "bush of sauerkraut" filled with light, snow, and wine. This can be interpreted as finding beauty and vitality amidst the chaos and contradictions of modern society.
The third verse delves into political and cultural references, expressing disdain for shooting at Arabs with American bullets, the belief in being Nordic, going to Dublin, drinking Guinness, using acupuncture, eating pizza with mayonnaise, and dancing to Irish music. These references criticize certain behaviors, habits, and attitudes that deviate from the bucolic lifestyle.
In the final verse, the lyrics highlight the non-bucolic nature of shooting guns, playing cards, theater dancing, all forms of art, going on cruises, and blindly following priests. Additionally, the song expresses disapproval of chauvinism, mistreatment of women, tennis tournaments, violence, and complaints from singer Capossela, suggesting that embracing simplicity, nature, and the song of a whale or moth is more bucolic.
Overall, the song's lyrics offer a critical perspective on the complexities and contradictions of modern urban life compared to the idealized simplicity and natural beauty of the countryside. It encourages listeners to find joy and harmony within themselves amidst the chaotic and non-bucolic aspects of society.
