Música para amanecer en este jueves en la canción del día de ‘Herrera en COPE’: 'Sun of Jamaica' de Goombay Dance Band

“Es la historia de una canción, de una típica canción del verano. Allá por 1979, un grupo alemán llamado Goombay Dance Band, cuenta que vio a película ‘Rebelión a bordo’ donde salía Marlon Brando y le entraron muchas ganas de ir a Jamaica. Y por eso grabaron este sugestivo ‘Sun of Jamaica’”

Letra de la canción 'Sun of Jamaica' de Goombay Dance Band

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
Your 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
The burning desire became so strong
That I bought me a ticket to fly home
And then I found you

And we found an eternal love
right from the beginning
The stars falling down from the lagoon of gold
The palms swaying under the moon
We were swimming out into the 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
Your 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

Sun of Jamaica, the dreams of Malaika
Your love is my sweet memory
Sun of Jamaica, Blue Lady Malaika
Some day I'll return, wait and see...
