lo ska nel mare
Skarabazoo Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sdraiato sulla spiaggia
In mezzo agli ombrelloni
Violente sensazioni
Jamaica Kingston
Rude boys sulla spiaggia
Festeggiano a tequila
Si insidia il levare
Non so se finirà

Lo ska nel mare
Si inizia a ballare e ballalo anche tu
Lo ska nel mare
Si inizia a sognare e non pensarci più
Lo ska nel mare
Si inizia a ballare e ballalo anche tu
Lo ska nel mare
Si inizia a sognare e non pensarci più

Rimango estasiato
Dal ritmo del levare
Comincio a ballare
Come on skankin'
Mi faccio trasportare
Come l'acqua del mare




Il ritmo nelle vene
Non so se finirà

Overall Meaning

The song "Lo Ska Nel Mare" by Skarabazoo is a catchy and upbeat ska tune that encourages listeners to let loose and enjoy the moment. The opening lines describe the scene of the singer lying on the beach among beach umbrellas and feeling intense sensations of Jamaica Kingston. The mention of rude boys celebrating with tequila adds to the Caribbean island vibe. The line "si insidia il levare" translates to "the sunrise sneaks up" and creates a sense of anticipation and uncertainty of what's to come. The chorus then kicks in with the repeated phrase "Lo ska nel mare" which translates to "ska in the sea" and invites the listener to start dancing and dreaming without worrying about what the future holds.


The second verse describes the singer becoming entranced by the rhythm of the sunrise and joining in the skanking dance. The image of being carried away like the water in the sea is powerful and emphasizes the freedom and joy of the moment. The song ends with the line "non so se finirà" which means "I don't know if it will end," leaving the listener with a sense of continuation and possibility.
