Lyrics

ooh, yeah, yeah

Expressing affirmation and enthusiasm

mmh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Continuation of positive affirmation

Jamaica

Mentioning the location "Jamaica"


Hello, Jamaica, I hope you're fine

Greeting Jamaica and expressing concern for its well-being

I must confess you're always on my mind

Admitting that Jamaica is always on the mind

I can't pretend to be right next to you

Unable to be physically close and do things as before

And do the thing that we used to do

Reflecting on past shared experiences


I should say, I'll be back to you

Promise to return to Jamaica

I should say, I miss you so much

Expressing intense longing and missing Jamaica

But I'm lost in the silence of my fears

Feeling lost in personal fears and struggles

So, how I'm gonna dry my tears?

Pondering how to cope and dry emotional tears

Jah Jah tell me, how I'm gonna dry my tears

Seeking guidance from Jah Jah (God) on overcoming difficulties


Hello, Jamaica, how do you feel?

Greeting Jamaica again and inquiring about its well-being

Sometimes the life, it's hard fi real

Acknowledging life's challenges

My castle in the sun fell down

Metaphorically describing a personal setback

That's why I a move back to my home town

Deciding to return to the hometown due to the setback


I should say, I'll be back to you

Repeating the promise to return to Jamaica

I should say, I miss you so much

Reiterating the deep sense of missing Jamaica

But I'm lost in the silence of my fears

Still feeling lost in personal fears and challenges

Tell me, how I'm gonna dry my tears

Asking again how to cope and dry emotional tears


Jah Jah tell me, please tell me

Seeking guidance from Jah Jah on a personal level

Jah Jah tell me, how I'm gonna dry my tears

Repeating the plea for guidance in overcoming difficulties

Jah Jah tell me, how I'm gonna dry my tears

Continuing to seek help from Jah Jah

Jah Jah tell me, how I'm gonna dry my tears

Reiterating the plea for assistance


Jamaica, Jamaica

Repetition of the location "Jamaica" for emphasis

Jamaica, Jamaica

Repeating the mention of "Jamaica" for emphasis
