Long time ago when I was a little boy
I saw that movie
"Mutiny on the Bounty"
Starring the man called Marlon Brando
And I felt a yearning for the great
adventure
So many nights I woke up out of a
dream, me say
So many nights I woke up out of a
dream
I dream of blue sea, I dream of white
sands,
Paradise birds and the warm-hearted
girls
Chorus:
Sun of Jamaica, the dreams of Malaika
Our love is my sweet memory
Sun of Jamaica, blue Lady Malaika
Someday I'll return, wait and see
All day the sand and I'm happy with you
We shall be loving and true
Oh, I sure fove Malaika with all of
my heart
I will always be faithful and true, so true
Now as I grew older this desire
got stronger
And I bought me a ticket to fly over
And when I found you and we
fell in love
Right from the beginning, me say,
right from the start
Stars falling down from the
sleepy lagoon
Palms swaying under the shining mo¢n
And we were swimming out in the
crystal sea
Chorus: Sun of Jamaica, blue Lady
Malaika...
In that fateful night I thought to myself,
yes
That fateful night I thought to myself
I'll do everything, everything that I can
Save up every dime and one day I'll
return
Back home to you, that's where I belong
And we will stay together as one family
Hard like a rock always on the attack
And I'll stay for ever, for ever and ever
