Carbonara, sung by Spliff was played in the six episode of Musitaly: Sex and Food.
This song is about a trip to Italy in the 80s. The protagonist of the song doesn’t have much money and after meeting a girl he sings he only can offer her a Carbonara and a Coca Cola.
Please, pay attention to the lyrics because the singer mentions a lot of Italian stereotypes such as the Mafia, the Red Brigades, the Italian Motorway and so on.
Spliff – Carbonara [Original Version]
Io voglio viaggiare in Italia
In paese dei limoni
Brigade Rosse e la mafia
Cacciano sulla Strada del Sol
L’istruzione della Lira
Gelati Motta con brio
Tecco mecco con ragazza
Ecco, la mamma di amore mio
Sentimento grandioso per Italia
Baciato da sole calda
Borsellino è vuoto totale
Perciò mangio sempre solo
Spaghetti Carbonara e una Coca Cola
Carbonara e una Coca Cola
Carbonara e una Coca Cola
Carbonara e una Coca Cola
Scusi signorina, willst du auch’n Spliff?
Oder stehst du nur auf Männer mit Schlips?
Ich hab’ sonst nichts was ich dir geben kann
Aber blond bin ich, ist das vielleicht nichts?
Amaretto ist ein geiles Zeug
Ich bin schon lull und lall
Hab’ keine Ahnung ob du mich verstehst
Doch du lächelst, und mein Herz tut ‘n’ Knall
Belladonna, ich lad’ dich jetzt zum Essen ein
Mangiare, tu capito? Andiamo
Asti Spumante wird es nicht g’rade sein
Aber dafür gibt’s schon wieder mal
Spaghetti Carbonara e una Coca Cola
Carbonara e una Coca Cola
Carbonara e una Coca Cola
Carbonara e una Coca Cola
Spaghetti Carbonara e una Coca Cola
Carbonara e una Coca Cola
Carbonara e una Coca Cola
Carbonara e una Coca Cola
Carbonara e una Coca Cola
Carbonara e una Coca Cola
Carbonara e una Coca Cola
Spliff – Carbonara [English Translation]
I’d like to travel to Italy
The land of the lemons
The Red Brigades and the Mafia
Are hunting on the Highway of the Sun
The destruction of the Lira
Motta ice cream on fire
A hanky-panky with a girl
And there she is: my love’s mother
Great feelings for Italy
Kissed by the hot sun
My wallet is completely empty
That’s why all I eat is …
Spaghetti Carbonara and a Coca Cola
Carbonara and a Coca Cola
Carbonara and a Coca Cola
Carbonara and a Coca Cola
Excuse me, miss, would you like to have a Spliff?
Or do you prefer men with a tie?
I don’t have very much to offer,
But I’m a blonde, that’s not too bad, isn’t it?
Amaretto is great stuff, I’m quite squiffy already
No idea if you can understand me
But you smile and my heart goes booom
Pretty lady, I invite you for a meal
Eating – get me? Let’s go!
We’re probably not going to have Asti Spumante
But I’ll be again …
Spaghetti Carbonara and a Coke
Carbonara and a Coca Cola
Carbonara and a Coca Cola
Carbonara and a Coca Cola
