Sun of Jamaica - Goombay Dance Band

Long time ago, when I was a young boy

I saw that movie «Mutiny on the Bounty»

Starring my idol, Marlon Brando

And I felt a yearning for that great adventure

So many nights I woke up out of a dream

A dream of blue seas, white sands

Paradise birds, butterflies and beautiful warm-hearted girls

Sun of Jamaica, the dreams of Malaika

Our love is my sweet memory

Sun of Jamaica, Blue Lady Malaika

Some day I’ll return, wait and see

Walk in the sand and I’m happy with you

We shall be loving and true

Oh I sure love Malaika

With all of my heart

I will always be faithful and true, yeah true

But now as I grew older

This buring desire became so strong

That I bought me a ticket to fly over there

And then I found you

And we found an eternal love right from the beginning

Stars falling down from the sleepy lagoon

Palms swaying under the moon

We were swimming out into the calm, crystal sea

In that fateful night I thought to myself

I’ll do everything I can, save every dime

And one day I’ll return, come back home to you

And then I’ll stay forever, forever

Sun of Jamaica, the dreams of Malaika

Our love is my sweet memory

Sun of Jamaica, Blue Lady Malaika

Some day I’ll return, wait and see

Walk in the sand and I’m happy with you

We shall be loving and true

Oh I sure love Malaika

With all of my heart

I will always be faithful and true, yeah true
