Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
cammaran... chalay. vamanoose..my pisane
allo, mi cammaran, bueno, si bueno
Rap
Back in the day i had a kangoo,, and back in the day about the samples
lights out about the candles, in meheco im rocking sandles, at the video shoot
the money booth, on the sand spitting truth, on a daily journey,
lord have mercy, the locals thirsty, they call me black man, an african,
some kinda man, a darken man, don't touch my face it's just a tan,
Chorus
the natives of the land darker than me
couldn't believe my eyes, don't live the lies
Bridge
We in the channel baby... walk thru ,, be brave, be eventful
plateful, boy just be grateful, despite the fight,
Rap
Have you ever been blinded from the truth, 3 piece suit
africa ain't 3rd world its 1st world, talking economics maybe so
diamonds and the doe, plus labour, your life saver, in jail with a razor
singing the major, singing the blues,
hold my hand cuz u blind, the souls devine, both entwined, we know they lying
all way up, riding the clouds, driven like a baws, knock em out
Chorus
the natives of the land darker than me
couldn't believe my eyes, don't live the lies
Bridge
We in the channel baby... walk thru ,, be brave, be eventful
plateful, boy just be grateful, despite the fight,
Ending
darker than me, darker than me, darker than me, darker than me
The lyrics to DaForce's song "Cammarann" touch on themes of identity, racial perception, and the struggle for equality. The song opens with the words "cammaran... chalay. vamanoose..my pisane," which can be interpreted as a playful and rhythmic introduction to the track. The following line "allo, mi cammaran, bueno, si bueno" suggests a conversation or interaction with someone who is addressed as "cammaran," possibly referring to a friend or companion.
In the rap verses, the artist reflects on his personal experiences and observations. He reminisces about the past when he owned a Kangoo, a type of car, and mentions "samples" and "candles," symbolizing moments of nostalgia. He then describes being in Mexico, wearing sandals and shooting a video where money is being thrown around. This seems to depict a glamorous and extravagant scene, but juxtaposed with the line "spitting truth," it suggests that the artist remains grounded and authentic in his craft.
The lyrics also touch on racial identity, as the artist is referred to as "black man" and "African." He challenges the superficiality of judging someone based solely on their skin color, emphasizing that it's just a tan and urging others not to believe the stereotypes or misconceptions they may have about him or his community. There is an underlying message of unity and breaking down racial barriers, as the chorus repeats the line "the natives of the land darker than me, couldn't believe my eyes, don't live the lies."
The bridge of the song encourages bravery and a positive attitude despite the challenges faced. It suggests that there is a journey to be taken, with the metaphor of walking through a channel. Being grateful and finding fulfillment in life, despite the ongoing fight for justice, is emphasized.
The second rap verse delves deeper into societal issues. The artist questions if we have ever been blinded from the truth and suggests that Africa is not a "third world" but rather a "first world" in terms of economics and illustrates this through the mention of diamonds, labor, and the role it plays as a life-saver. The line "singing the blues" refers to the struggle and hardship, while also alluding to the genre of music that emerged from African American culture.
The song concludes with the repeated phrase "darker than me," which serves as a reminder of the artist's own experience of being judged by his skin color and the ongoing struggle for equality.

Africa is not a third-world, it's a first-world country when it comes to economics, maybe it's true, diamonds and money, along with hard work, can save your life, even in difficult situations like being in jail, expressing the main issues, singing about the struggles
hold my hand cuz u blind, the souls devine, both entwined, we know they lying
Hold my hand because you can't see, our souls are divine, intertwined together, we are aware that they are lying
all way up, riding the clouds, driven like a baws, knock em out
Going all the way up, soaring above the clouds, being driven like a boss, knocking down obstacles
darker than me, darker than me, darker than me, darker than me
Indigenous people have darker skin than mine, repeatedly emphasizing the contrast
