YASKALE 533 Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 Ahh thank you for sharing!!!! I’ve been sitting on this observation for awhile but, but notice how triangles factor heavily in the music video: the initial formation, the dueling dances in the second chorus, her cape when it is pulled taut, the ending when the dancers form an arrow and are “pushing” her. Very thoughtful. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scri 837 Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 (edited) 42 minutes ago, River said: oh wow so it has a totally different meaning than today does it have any connection to puttana? iirc, puttana is from old french translation of the Latin pŭtus (l.v. *puttus), which means "young boy" (and the female "young girl"). It's just a polarization of a neutral word (like bitch was nothing more than a female dog). The latin meaning of pŭtus is still alive in the Italian "putto" (those little angels in Renaissance paintings - if it's Cupido than it's an amorino, not a simple putto) and in some regional varieties of Italian for "boy/kid". The bad meaning is very old tho and it came before the "actual" Italian. In the old part of the Basilica of Saint Clement in Rome, you can see a fresco (ca. 11th century), this one: It's like a comic strip. In the right, you can see the prefect Sisinnus saying to his slaves "Fili dele pute, traite", which means "Sons of bitches, pull it (i.e. the column)". It's a very old proof of Latin transforming in Italian (If you're curious, the oldest known "italianiazation" of Latin is dated to X century, with the placiti, see the eng. wiki). The original meaning from Latin putare in Italian has partially survived in verbs like reputare (to value). Potare is from a different Latin putare (which means "to clean").
