Goombay Dance BandLong time ago, when I was a young boySun Of Jamaica
 
 
 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
 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 burning desire became so strong
 That I bought me 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
 Come back home to you.
 And then i'll stay forever, forever
 
 Sun of Jamaica, the dreams 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
 
 Sun of Jamaica, the dreams of Malaika
 Your love is my sweet memory
 Sun of Jamaica, Blue Lady Malaika
 Some day i'll return, wait and see...
