This is my island in the sun
Where my people have toiled since time begun
I may sail on many a sea
Her shores will always be home to me
Oh, island in the sun
Willed to me by my father's hand
All my days I will sing in praise
Of your forest, waters, your shining sand
When morning breaks the heaven on high
I lift my heavy load to the sky
Sun comes down with a burning glow
Mingles my sweat with the earth below
Oh, island in the sun
Willed to me by my father's hand
All my days I will sing in praise
Of your forest, waters, your shining sand
I see woman on bended knee
Cutting cane for her family
I see man at the water side
Casting nets at the surging tide
Oh, island in the sun
Willed to me by my father's hand
All my days I will sing in praise
Of your forest, waters, your shining sand
I hope the day will never come
When I can't awake to the sound of drum
Never let me miss carnival
With calypso songs philosophical
Oh, island in the sun
Willed to me by my father's hand
All my days I will sing in praise
Of your forest, waters, your shining sand
Sad the time, I'll ever miss
The gay colored skirts as they turn and twist
Let me always hear soft guitars
And a maiden's voice 'neath a thousand stars
Oh, island in the sun
Willed to me by my father's hand
All my days I will sing in praise
Of your forest, waters, your shining sand
(Swedish lyrics by Bo Göran Edling)
Det fanns en tid för länge sen
Då jag seglade på Caribien
Det var den första resan ditut
Där sol och sommar ej kan ta slut
De tusen öars land
Formade av en vänlig hand
Där fanns du och jag längtar nu
Till att åter vandra på samma strand
Det fanns en tid för länge sen
Då jag träffade den som blev min vän
Hon var så skön som någon kan bli
Och djupt förälskade det var vi
De tusen öars land
Formade av en vänlig hand
Där fanns du och jag längtar nu
Till att åter vandra på samma strand
Det fanns en tid för länge sen
Då jag reste min väg från dig igen
Men alla minnen håller mig kvar
Hos dig och lyckliga unga dar
De tusen öars land
Formade av en vänlig hand
Där fanns du och jag längtar nu
Till att åter vandra på samma strand
Det fanns en tid för länge sen
Du ska veta att jag har saknat den
Åren har gått, nu reser jag dit,
Till ön där solen gör sanden vit
De tusen öars land
Formade av en vänlig hand
Där fanns du och jag längtar nu
Till att åter vandra på samma strand
O eiland in de zon, waar ik liep
Aan mijn vaders hand
Niets bindt mij met zo'n sterke band
Als jouw wouden, beken en palmenstrand
Geef mij m'n eiland in de zon
Waar ik vroeger zo zorg'loos spelen kon
'k Zwerf soms duizend mijlen van huis
Maar voel m'alleen op m'n eiland thuis
Ik hoor tam-tams; ze dreunen door 't woud
Waar een der stamman een dansfeest houdt
Ik zie vrouwen en hoor hun lied
Bij het snijden van het suikerriet
(German lyrics by Kurt Feltz)
Ich grüss´ meine Insel im Sonnenlicht,
das sich silbern und hell im Morgen bricht.
Ich grüss´ der Heimat flimmernden Sand,
die braune Hütte am Meeresstrand.
Wo meine Sonne scheint
und wo meine Sterne steh´n,
da kann man der Hoffnung Glanz
und der Freiheit Licht in der Ferne seh´n.
Ich denk´ an Last und Pein und Not,
an den Ruf der Trommel im Abendrot;
ich denk´ an dich und dein Schattenbild,
das sich in goldene Träume hüllt.
Wo meine Sonne scheint
und wo meine Sterne steh´n,
da kann man der Hoffnung Glanz
und der Freiheit Licht in der Ferne seh´n.
Ich seh´ sie knie´n im hohen Rohr
Und höre von fern der Freiheit Chor.
Ich seh´ die Hand, die zum Himmel weist
Und fühle den Schmerz der Heimweh heisst.
Wo meine Sonne scheint
und wo meine Sterne steh´n,
da kann man der Hoffnung Glanz
und der Freiheit Licht in der Ferne seh´n.
Ich hoffe, dass bald die Stunde schlägt,
da mich ein Schiff zu der Insel trägt;
warten auch Last und Not und Pein,
dort will ich still und zufrieden sein.
Wo meine Sonne scheint
und wo meine Sterne steh´n,
da kann man der Hoffnung Glanz
und der Freiheit Licht in der Ferne seh´n
Ce n'est
qu'une île au grand soleil
Un îlot parmi tant d'autres pareils
Oų mes parents ont vu le jour
Oų mes enfants naîtront ā leur tour
Ô mon île au soleil
Paradis entre terre et ciel
Oų le flot, tout le long des jours
Chante au sable fin sa chanson d'amour
Au grand matin coiffée de rosée
Elle a l'air d'une jeune épousée
Je la regarde et mon fardeau
Semble aussitôt léger sur mon dos
Ô mon île au soleil
Paradis entre terre et ciel
Oų le flot, tout le long des jours
Chante au sable fin sa chanson d'amour
Chez nous, la Femme ā l'aube est debout
Coupant la canne ou bien le bambou
L'Homme pęche et tire ā son bord
Un grand filet plein de poissons d'or
Ô mon île au soleil
Paradis entre terre et ciel
Oų le flot, tout le long des jours
Chante au sable fin sa chanson d'amour
Que jamais ne vienne le jour
Oų l'on entendrait gronder les tambours
Įa ferait peur aux grands oiseaux
Et pourrait troubler nos doux Calypsos
Ô mon île au soleil
Paradis entre terre et ciel
Oų le flot, tout le long des jours
Chante au sable fin sa chanson d'amour
