德國團體［古姆貝舞曲樂隊］成名曲──歐洲迪斯可──［牙買加太陽／Sun of Jamaica］

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 Ill return, wait and see

Walk in the sand and Im 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 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
Ill do everything I can, save every dime
And one day Ill return, come back home to you
And then Ill stay forever, forever

Sun of Jamaica, the dreams of Malaika
Our love is my sweet memory
Sun of Jamaica, Blue Lady Malaika
Some day Ill return, wait and see

Walk in the sand and Im 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
Some day Ill return, wait and see

Sun of Jamaica, the dreams of Malaika
