Jamaica
Robertino Loreti Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Giamaica! Giamaica!
Quando mi sembrava di bruciare
Sotto il tuo bel sole ardente,
Sai che mi potevo dissetare
Presso l'acqua di una fonte.
Ma come potrò dissetare
Che dalla passione d'amor sento bruciar?!
Giamaica, Giamaica,
T'ho lasciato un giorno per sfuggire
La sua bocca inaridita...
Oggi tu mi vedi ritornare
Come un'anima pentita.
Quel volto di mistica donna,
Quegli occhi di finta madonna
Che tutti tradisce ed inganna non so scordar...
Giamaica! Giamaica!
Sotto il tuo bel cielo tropicale
Voglio vivere e morir.
Giamaica! Giamaica! Giamaica!
In Robertino Loreti's song "Jamaica," the singer expresses his longing for the Caribbean island where he once found solace and where he now hopes to find redemption. In the first verse, he reminisces about seeking relief from the heat of the sun in the cool water of a fountain. Yet, he laments that he cannot quench the burning passion of his heart, which consumes him with love. He then goes on to reveal that he left Jamaica at some point to escape the dryness of a woman's mouth. However, now he returns as a repentant soul, unable to forget the image of a woman whose mystique and deceitful appearance he cannot shake off his mind. Finally, he declares his desire to live and die under the beautiful tropical sky of Jamaica.
The lyrics of "Jamaica" exude a sense of nostalgia and romanticism for the Caribbean island, which served as a retreat for many Italian artists during the 1960s. The warm and soothing melody of the song complements the singer's sentimental portrayal of the island's idyllic landscape. Moreover, the lyrics touch upon universal themes of love, passion, and repentance, which make the song relatable to a broad audience.

When it seemed like I was burning under your beautiful, scorching sun, I could refresh myself by drinking from a nearby fountain.

Che dalla passione d'amor sento bruciar?!

Великолепно спел песню РОБЕРТИНО. Это одна из моих любимых ЕГО песен. Я также пою песни из Его репертура, напр., ВUONA NOTTE, и учусь петь по Нему. Спасибо Ему за ангельское пение! Пока я помню ЕГО, - я живу ...
