Island in the Sun (From "Club Paradise") |
This my island in the sun, |
where my people have toiled since the time begun. |
I may sail on mant sea, |
these shores will allways be home to me. |
Oh, Island in the sun |
buildt to me by my fathers hand. |
All my days I will sing and prays, |
of your forrest, water, your shining sign. |
As morning breaks, my heaven on high, |
I lift my heavy load to the sky. |
Sun comes down with a burning flame, |
lingures my sweat with the earth below. |
Oh, Island in the sun |
buildt to me by my fathers hand. |
All my days I will sing and prays, |
of your forrest, water, your shining sign. |
I see woman on bended knees, |
cutting cane for her family. |
I see man on waterside, |
casting nets on the surge of tides. |
Oh, Island in the sun |
buildt to me by my fathers hand. |
All my days I will sing and prays, |
of your forrest, water, your shining sign. |
I hope the day will never come, |
when I can’t wake to the sound of drums. |
never let me miss carnaval, |
with calypso songs full of kindly ones. |
OH ISLAND IN THE SUN, |
BUILDT TO ME BY MY FATHERS HAND. |
ALL MY DAYS I WILL SING AND PRAYS, |
OF YOUR FORREST, WATER, YOUR SHINING SIGN… |
OH, oh… |
