Anniversary Collection

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
Someday 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 burning desire became so strong
That I bought me a ticket to fly home

And then I found you
And we fell in an eternal love
Right from the beginning

The stars falling down from the smoothing lagoon
The palms swaying under the moon
We were swimming out into the calm and 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
Someday 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

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

Sun of Jamaica, the dreams of Malaika

They came 500 years ago
They stole the gold of Mexico
Killed the people one by one
Only talking with their guns
Brave men locked on iron chains
All young mothers sold as slaves
Babies crying through the night
Will they ever see a light

[Chorus]
Golden dreams of Eldorado
All have drowned in seas of pain and blood
Golden dreams of Eldorado
May come true but only in your heart

Reach out your hands and you'll be free
Then we shall live in liberty
Oh, will mankind ever learn
Shall the whole world die and burn

[Chorus]

Within the memory of man
The search for happiness has never ended
But the gates of Eden will ever be closed
For those conquitadores who are only hungry
For power and might
Because the real Eldorado
Isn't made out of diamonds and gold
It's the immortal yearning
For peace, love and understanding
In the hearts of everyone

[Chorus]
