The wind blows the palms
He was torn from your arms
And he sailed away
The sun burns the sand
You can still feel his hand
As you heard him say
In the words of the islands
I'll return one day.
Kara, Kara, Kara Kimbiay
The stars will guide me on my way
Kara, Kara, Kara Kimbiay
Kara, Kara wait for me
When I return across the sea
Kara, Kara, I'll be back to stay.
The sun disappears
And the sky's not so clear
As he sailed away
The life that you lead's
Not the life that you need
You still hear her say
Your words are the words
You will hear while you're away.
Kara, Kara, Kara Kimbiay
The stars will guide me on my way
Kara, Kara, Kara Kimbiay
Kara, Kara wait for me
When I return across the sea
Kara, Kara, I'll be back to stay.
