Testo Island Boy - Baha Men

Testo della canzone Island Boy (Baha Men), tratta dall'album Junkanoo

I come from the island
I come from the island
I come from the island
I come from the island
Island boy, you know my heart is still in the Caribbean
Island boy, I still hear my girlfriend say
Come back home, to the land of the palm beaches
Where your heart has always been, since the very first day
I still miss gumbay summer every evening
And the sailing boats, beneath the bridge so high
I feel the sun, and my heart within me leaving
To come back to Nassau, to the sun, the sea and the sky
Island boy, you know my heart is still in the Caribbean
Island boy, I still hear my girlfriend say
Come back home, to the land of the palm beaches
Where your heart has always been, since the very first day
I hear cow bells and the drums on New Year's morning
And I smell hibiscus in the tropic skies above
Look at the boats, and the conch and fish a dawning
I know that it's Nassau, and everything about it I love
Oh island boy, you got your mind on your job in New York
But your heart's in the Caribbean
Oh island boy, when you look at the concrete walls
Can't you hear them say
Come back home, to the land of the
Sand and the sea and the palm beaches
Where your heart has always been, since the very first day
I still miss gumbay summer every evening
And the sailing boats, beneath the bridge so high
I feel the sun, and my heart within me leaving
To come back to Nassau, to the sun, the sea and the sky
Oh how I miss Junkanoo on New Year's morning
And I smell hibiscus in the tropic skies above
Look at the boats, and the conch and fish a dawning
I know that it's Nassau, and everything about it I love
Oh island boy, you got your mind on your job in New York
But your heart's in the Caribbean
Oh island boy, when you look at the concrete walls
Can't you hear them say
Come back home, to the land of the
Sand and the sea and the palm beaches
Where your heart has always been, since the very first day
I come from the island
I come from a tropical climate
With coconut trees down by the sea
And people who love to party
I come from the island
Some people call it wonderland
Cause the mother of nature blessed it so
A hometown that you never outgrow
I come from the island
I'm an island boy, you understand
I can't hide, especially when I talk
They can tell I'm an island boy in New York
I come from the island
Hey man, you know that I'm an island boy
