Goombay Dance Band Sun of Jamaika Lyrics

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, b___erflies 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
