Beautiful Day
Jamaican Homecoming: A Beautiful Day of Joy and Reunion
Lyrics
I'm gonna go back home on the 1st of May
I plan to return home on the 1st of May
What a beautiful day
Expressing joy about the beautiful day
John will be at my side on my Aeroplane ride
John will accompany me on my airplane journey
First stop Montego Bay
First destination: Montego Bay
Friends will meet me there
Anticipation of meeting friends at Montego Bay
Hope mum will be there
Hoping that mom will be present at the destination
To take me back to my home
Desire for mom to take me back home
Yeah
Expression of affirmation or excitement
So on the 1st of May
Reiteration of the plan to return on May 1st
That will be a happy day to see Jamaica again
Expectation of a joyful day seeing Jamaica again
I'm gonna have some fun drinking lots of rum
Looking forward to having fun, possibly with rum
What a beautiful day
Reiteration of the beautiful day
Give me some rice and peas
Desire for traditional Jamaican food (rice and peas)
Make me feel at ease
Wishing to feel comfortable and relaxed
What a beautiful day
Reiteration of the beautiful day
Friends will meet me there
Anticipation of meeting friends again
Hope mum will be there
Hoping for the presence of mom
To take me back to my home
Desire for mom to take me back home
So on the 1st of May
Reiteration of the plan to return on May 1st
That will be a happy day to see Jamaica again
Expectation of a joyful day seeing Jamaica again
Friends will meet me there
Anticipation of meeting friends again
Hope mum will be there
Hoping for the presence of mom
To take me back to my home
Desire for mom to take me back home
So on the 1st of May
Reiteration of the plan to return on May 1st
That will be a happy day to see Jamaica again
Expectation of a joyful day seeing Jamaica again
