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 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 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
This burning 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
Stars falling down from the sea of lagoon
The 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 up 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
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 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
