Lyrics of Sun of Jamaica by Goombay Dance Band
verse
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
verse
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
chorus
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
chorus
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
verse
But now as I grew older
This burning desire became so strong
That I bought me a ticket to fly over there
And then I found you
verse
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
verse
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
chorus
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
chorus
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
chorus
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
outro
Sun of Jamaica, the dreams of Malaika
Writer(s): Eckehardt Stein Wolff, Wolfgang Jass
