[Chorus 1]
[Verse 1-leads out]

When will these dark clouds disappear from view
When will the sun begin to shine
When will I once again be near to you
When will I know for sure you're mine

Dreaming of those Jamaican nights
Longing to hold you
Jamaica take me away
Take me away with you
Jamaica, I'm wasting away
Take me away with you
Jamaica take me away
Take me away with you
Jamaica, I'm wasting away
Take me away with you

When will these dark days disappear again
When will I finally see the light
How long must I wait
To have you here my friend
I want to be with you tonight

Dreaming of those Jamaican nights
Longing to hold you
(Repeat rest of the chorus til end)

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 potro dissetare l'arsura di questo mio cuore,
Che dalla passione d'amore sento bruciar?!
Giamaica, Giamaica,
T'ho lasciato un giorno per sfuggere la sua bocca inaridita...
Oggi tu mi vedi ritornare come un'anima pentita.
Quel volto di mistica donna, quegli occhi di finta madonna,
Che tuttu tradisce ed inganna non so scordar...
Giamaica! Giamaica!
Sotto il tuo bel cielo tropicale voglio vivere e morir.
Giamaica! Giamaica! Giamaica!

Jamaica
Jamaica! Jamaica!
When it seemed to me, that I'll burn out under your sun
I could slake with spring water
But how can I cool off my heart,
Which burns in the flame of passion?!
Jamaica, Jamaica,
I left you for a day to forget her beautiful lips...
Today you see me returning like a penanceing soul
This look of mistic woman, the eyes of madonna,
Which entices everybody to ruin, I can't forget them...
Jamaica, Jamaica
Under your wonderful tropical sky I would like to live and die
Jamaica! Jamaica! Jamaica!
