Kamasupra
Eraserheads Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Na akong hindi natutulog
Kasi naman
Ang ingay ng aming kapitbahay
Pag gabi
Discohouse at videoke
Kaya sorry na lang
Kung wala sa aking sarili
Pero miss na miss na miss
Ko na
Ang aking kama
At ang malupit kong unan
Ba't di ka na lang sumama
Hihiga tayo at
Kakanta
Masarap matulog
Lalong lalo na pag umuulan
Huwag kang matakot
Sa pungay ng aking mga mata
Napuyat lang
Nang magyaya si Medwin kagabi
Sa kanila
Kami'y nagkantahan ng
Muntik nang maabot ang langit
Kaya nama'y ngayoy
Nasasabik
Ang aking kama
At ang malupit kong unan
Ba't di ka na lang sumama
Hihiga tayo at
Kakanta
(ely musing: sige na naman...)
Mahal kita
Pero miss na miss na miss ko na
Ang aking kama
At ang malupit kong unan
Ba't di ka na lang sumama
Hihiga tayo at
Kakanta
Sa aking kama
At ang malupit kong kumot
Ba't di ka na lang sumama
Hihiga tayo at
Kakanta
Hah...
The song "Kamasupra" by Eraserheads is a bittersweet tune that speaks of the difficulties of getting a good night's sleep because of the noisy neighbors who party all night long. The singer has been suffering for ten months and is yearning for a peaceful rest at home. He loves someone but misses his bed and pillow more because of the constant noise he has to endure. He invites his love interest to join him, and they could sing to their hearts' content and have their soothing slumber. The lyrics are romantic, but the message is simple, and the irony adds to the charm of the song.
This song was released in 1994 as part of Eraserheads' third studio album, "Cutterpillow," which became the band's breakthrough album. It is a popular karaoke song in the Philippines and still receives airplay decades later. Interestingly, the title "Kamasupra" is a term coined by the band, which is a play on words about "Kama Sutra" and "Super slow motion" video that was popular at the time. The band members have explained that the song is not sexual in nature but instead speaks of the need for peaceful rest.

It's been ten months
Na akong hindi natutulog
And I haven't slept
Kasi naman
Because
Ang ingay ng aming kapitbahay
Our neighbor is loud
Pag gabi
At night
Discohouse at videoke
They have parties and karaoke
Kaya sorry na lang
So sorry
Kung wala sa aking sarili
If I am not myself
Mahal kita
I love you
Pero miss na miss na miss
But I really miss
Ko na
You
Ang aking kama
My bed
At ang malupit kong unan
And my awesome pillow
Ba't di ka na lang sumama
Why don't you come with me
Hihiga tayo at kakanta
We can lie down and sing
Masarap matulog
It feels good to sleep
Lalong lalo na pag umuulan
Especially when it's raining
Huwag kang matakot
Don't be afraid
Sa pungay ng aking mga mata
Of my sleepy eyes
Napuyat lang
I just stayed up late
Nang magyaya si Medwin kagabi
When Medwin invited me last night
Sa kanila
To their place
Kami'y nagkantahan ng
We sang together
Muntik nang maabot ang langit
Almost reached the sky
Kaya nama'y ngayoy nasasabik
That's why now, I'm excited
(ely musing: sige na naman...)
(Ely musing: here we go again...)
Sa aking kama
In my bed
At ang malupit kong kumot
And my awesome blanket
Hah...
Ha...
