ong 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 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      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
