Traduzione del testo della canzone Almost Jamaica - The Bellamy Brothers

Almost Jamaica (originale)

She was born in Dakota
Where she froze to death each winter
But she dreamed about the islands
By the fire burning splendour.
It was almost Jamaica
Almost paradise
It was almost Jamaica
It was almost real nice.
So she moved down on the border
With the sunshine but no seaweed
Though she could not drink the water
Some of the streets were lined with palm trees
It was almost Jamaica
Almost paradise
It was almost Jamaica
It was almost real nice.
--- Instrumental ---
Electric fan on the table
Shower is her waterfall
She may never have Jamaica
But in her mind she has it all.
And it was almost Jamaica
Almost paradise
It was almost Jamaica
It was almost real nice.
--- Instrumental ---
She loved their hurricane warnings
And the tropical breeze
She loves coconuts and love songs
With a little reggae breeze.
It was almost Jamaica
Almost paradise
It was almost Jamaica
It was almost real nice.
--- Instrumental ---
It was almost Jamaica
Almost paradise
It was almost Jamaica
It was almost real nice.
It was almost Jamaica
Almost paradise
It was almost Jamaica
It was almost real nice.
It was almost Jamaica
Almost paradise
It was almost Jamaica
It was almost real nice.
It was almost Jamaica
Almost paradise
It was almost Jamaica
It was almost real nice…

Almost Jamaica (traduzione)

È nata in Dakota
Dove si congelava a morte ogni inverno
Ma lei sognava le isole
Per lo splendore ardente del fuoco.
Era quasi la Giamaica
Quasi paradiso
Era quasi la Giamaica
È stato quasi davvero bello.
Quindi si è trasferita al confine
Con il sole ma senza alghe
Anche se non poteva bere l'acqua
Alcune delle strade erano fiancheggiate da palme
Era quasi la Giamaica
Quasi paradiso
Era quasi la Giamaica
È stato quasi davvero bello.
--- Strumentale ---
Ventilatore elettrico sul tavolo
La doccia è la sua cascata
Potrebbe non avere mai la Giamaica
Ma nella sua mente ha tutto.
Ed era quasi la Giamaica
Quasi paradiso
Era quasi la Giamaica
È stato quasi davvero bello.
--- Strumentale ---
Amava i loro avvertimenti di uragani
E la brezza tropicale
Adora le noci di cocco e le canzoni d'amore
Con un po' di reggae.
Era quasi la Giamaica
Quasi paradiso
Era quasi la Giamaica
È stato quasi davvero bello.
--- Strumentale ---
Era quasi la Giamaica
Quasi paradiso
Era quasi la Giamaica
È stato quasi davvero bello.
Era quasi la Giamaica
Quasi paradiso
Era quasi la Giamaica
È stato quasi davvero bello.
Era quasi la Giamaica
Quasi paradiso
Era quasi la Giamaica
È stato quasi davvero bello.
Era quasi la Giamaica
Quasi paradiso
Era quasi la Giamaica
È stato quasi davvero carino...
