Maribaya

In the heat of the tropic sun,

I was searching for love and fun,

So I've been travelling around this land,

Of green valleys and golden sand.

On a freight-train I found my way,

To my true love, one lucky day,

Here on a beautiful site,

On a wonderful tropic night.

Maribaya, down by a blue bayou,

A wild rose in the sun,

That's where my love's begun,

Maribaya, here in the mountain-dew,

I found my true love,

here I found my baby blue.

A golden rainbow is always hangin' over you

This must be heaven, a paradise come true

Maribaya, down by a blue bayou,

I found my true love,

here I found my baby blue.

Swaying palm trees and waterfalls,

There we lie under parasols,

And while the paddy-birds sing their song,

We're making love in the blistering sun.

On a freight-train I found my way,

To my true love, one lucky day,

Here on a beautiful site,

On a wonderful tropic night.

Maribaya, down by a blue bayou,

A wild rose in the sun,

That's where my love's begun,

Maribaya, here in the mountain-dew,

I found my true love,

here I found my baby blue.

Maribaya, down by a blue bayou,

I found my true love,

here I found my baby blue.
