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.
