[Tammorra alone] Tum—ta. Tum—ta. Tum—ta-ta. [Female call] Aizate. Scinne. Vota. Viene. [Foot stomps join] [Male, low] After midnight, the street got a heartbeat. After midnight, the stone got feet. [Female] Doppo mezzanotte nun esiste cchiù dimane. Doppo mezzanotte 'o fuoco passa pe' 'e mmane. [Electric bass loop enters] [Chant] Tammorra— after midnight. Tammorra— dint' 'o pietto. Tammorra— after midnight. Move your sorrow through your body. [Chitarra battente begins circular rhythm] [Female] Vota 'a capa. Vota 'o core. Vota 'a faccia verso 'o sole. [Male] Shake that trouble from your shoulder. Dance until the night gets older. [Chant, layered] Nun te fermà. Don’t slow down. Nun te fermà. Touch the ground. [Distorted electric guitar enters] [Female, improvised dance calls] Uno pe' 'a terra! Ddoje pe' 'o mare! Tre pe' 'e muorte ca vonno turnare! Quatto pe' 'o fuoco! Cinche pe' 'o viento! Siente 'a tammorra dint' 'o sanghe e dint' 'o tiempo! [Male] I lost my name. I lost my shoes. I found the rhythm. I kept the blues. [Trance section: repeated voices over instrumental build] Fire below. Fuoco 'a sotto. Salt on the mouth. Sale 'mmocca. Fire below. Fuoco 'a sotto. Nobody leaves. Nisciuno se ne va. [Extended instrumental: electric guitar and amplified mandolin become increasingly distorted] [Sudden near-silence: only breath and tammorra heartbeat] [Female, whispered] Chi si'? [Male] I don’t know. [Female] Addó staje? [Male] Inside the drum. [Female] E allora sona. [Final explosive section] [Together] Tammorra after midnight! Tammurriata elettrica! Move the mountain! Move the street! Move the dead beneath your feet! Tammorra after midnight! Nun ce serve 'a libertà si 'o curaggio resta fermo— falla mo, falla ballà! [Repeated until abrupt final hit] Aizate! Scinne! Vota! Viene!
