El Nano

Melendi's song 'Alonsomania' is a vibrant and enthusiastic tribute to the Spanish Formula 1 driver Fernando Alonso, affectionately referred to as 'El Nano.' The lyrics paint Alonso as a larger-than-life figure, a superhero of sorts, who brings joy and excitement to his fans. The song opens by describing Alonso as a 'blue bullet,' a metaphor for his speed and precision on the race track. This imagery sets the tone for the rest of the song, emphasizing his extraordinary talent and almost mythical status.

The chorus reinforces this adulation, dismissing other famous drivers like Barrichello, Schumacher, and Button in favor of Alonso, who is credited with filling everyone with hope and excitement whenever he races. The repeated phrase 'Magic Alonso' underscores the almost magical impact he has on his fans and the sport itself. The song also highlights Alonso's down-to-earth personality, calling him 'buena gente' (good people) and 'un tio enrollao' (a cool guy), making him relatable and beloved by the public.

Melendi further elevates Alonso by comparing him to giants and superheroes, stating that no one can catch him or match his prowess. The lyrics also touch on Alonso's resilience and fearlessness, suggesting that he was destined for greatness from a young age. The reference to him falling into a 'marmita de sidra' (a cauldron of cider) humorously implies that he gained his extraordinary abilities in a manner akin to the characters in Asterix comics. This blend of humor, admiration, and cultural references makes 'Alonsomania' not just a song, but a celebration of a national hero who has captured the hearts of many.
