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 dream of Malaika
|
Your love is my sweet memory
|
Sun of Jamaica, Blue Lady Malaika
|
Some day I'll return, wait and see
|
Walk in the sand and l'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
|
The buring desire became so strong
|
That I bought a ticket to fly home
|
And then I found you.
|
|
And we found an eternal love right
|
from the beginning
|
The stars falling down from the lagoon of gold
|
The palms swaying under the moon
|
We were swimming out into the 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
|
And then I'll stay forever, forever.
|
|
Sun of Jamaica, the dream of Malaika
|
Your love is my sweet memory
|
Sun of Jamaica, Blue Lady Malaika
|
Some day I'll return, wait and see
|
Walk in the sand and l'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.
