«So tired and tired from the long crossing, melancholy reigns in my eyes. I put my foot on Sardinian soil and all this will pass».

This is the beginning of the song, with video, that Metroman (born Nicolò Modica) wrote and published at the end of his long stay on the island. Simple title, "My Sardinia", for a song that seems destined to become a hit, at least for the weekend: as soon as it was posted, the shares multiplied dramatically.

The text is a declaration of love for the beauties of the Sardinian land: simple verses, which refer to the experiences lived by Metroman who from Cagliari to Caprera, armed with a speaker and microphone, made thousands of bathers sing and dance.

Chased out of Porto Cervo and Cala Mariolu, he found a very different welcome in dozens of other places, on the coast and beyond. Metroman talks about murra, says ajò, sings about abbardente, lunches with shepherds, nuraghi, vermentino and cannonau. Common places, many. In an ultra-popular song. Simple: in the text, meter and rhythm. But written with sincerity, to say: «Thank you Sardinia, with emotion».
