Karmacoma (Napoli Trip) Lyrics
Na voce dint' 'o core, aggio sentuto luntana
Aggio capito ca eri tu ca me chiamave
Io te cunusco 'a sempe e sempe t'aggio amato
E quanno è gghiuta male, t’aggio perduta
[Verse 2: 3D]
I see you digging a hole in your neighbourhood
You're crazy, but you're lazy
No need to live in a lean to your troubles must be seen to
See through money like it's paper with faces I remember
I drink on a daily basis though it seldom cools my temper
It never cools my temper
[Verse 3: Almamegretta]
Dint 'o suror
Stamm azzeccat un dint a n'at
'O tiemp è comm 'o vient, soscia forte e me turment
Sì, t'aggio avut ma nun m'abbast ancora
[Chorus: Almamegretta]
Curre amore pe’ stu munno vaje
E nun te ferma’ mai
Jamaica a Roma
Curre amore pe’ stu munno vaje
E nun te ferma’ mai
You sure you want to be with me, I've nothing to give
Now take a walk, take a rest, taste the rest
Si te ne vai o te stai, nun chiagnere assaje
Si te ne vai o te stai, nun chiagnere assaje
[Interlude]
[Verse 5: Almamegretta]
Chell ca vuliss nun m' crir nun o' sacc'
E nun me ne 'mport, fin a quann' staje 'rind a 'sti braccia
Nun me ne 'mport si cu' me rimman' ancor'
Si cu' me rimman' ancor'
[Chorus: Almamegretta]
Curre amore pe’ stu munno vaje
E nun te ferma’ mai
Jamaica a Roma
Curre amore pe’ stu munno vaje
E nun te ferma’ mai
[Verse 6: 3D]
Deflowering my baby, are you my baby mate?
I must be crazy, see I'm swazy
You're digging a hole in your neighborhood
You're crazy but you're lazy, must be lazy
Chell ca vuliss, a me m' crir, nun me 'mport
Nun me ne 'mport
Nun me ne 'mport si cu' me rimman' ancor'
Deflowering my baby, are you my baby mate, my baby
Chell ca vuliss, a me m' crir
I must be crazy
Nun me ne 'mport
[Chorus: Almamegretta]
Curre amore pe’ stu munno vaje
E nun te ferma’ mai
Jamaica a Roma
About
This version of “Karmacoma” was remixed by Ben Young, with verses in Neapolitan written by Almamegretta’s singer Raiz.
The song contains samples from Roberto Paci Dalò’s record Napoli, an immersive multi-channel sound portrait of the Italian city.
The collaboration between Massive Attack and Almamegretta came up thanks to sound engineer and producer Ben Young, who produced Almamegretta’s debut album, Animamigrante. Later Young introduced the band to Massive Attack frontman Robert “3D” Del Naja, who loved the record.
