I Wanna Take You to Jamaica
Jamaican Dreams: A Reggae Love Story with Lucky Dube
Lyrics
We sat by the fire every night
We spent evenings together next to the fire.
We had our meals from the wooden pan
We shared our meals prepared in a wooden pan.
We were sitting on the wooden chair
We sat on a wooden chair.
She came near and whispered in my ear
She approached me closely and whispered in my ear.
She said she wants me always by her side
She expressed a desire for me to always be with her.
And I said
Unspecified response or action from the speaker.
I wanna take you to Jamaica African lady
