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, Kimbiay, the stars will guide me on the 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, Kimbiay, the stars will guide me on the way
Kara, Kara, Kara, Kimbiay
Kara, Kara, wait for me, when I return across the sea
Kara, Kara, I'll be back to stay
Where the sea and the sand wash together
You hope to spend your lives for ever
Where the sun meets the moon
You'll be together
Together again very soon
Kara, Kara, Kimbiay, the stars will guide me on the way
Kara, Kara, Kara, Kimbiay
Kara, Kara, wait for me, when I return across the sea
Kara, Kara, I'll be back to stay
There's a light on the sea and the wind blows the trees
And he's on his way
As you run through the sand and he touches your hand
You can hear him say:
"Kimbiay, Kimbiay, I've come back today"
Kara, Kara, Kimbiay, the stars will guide me on the way
Kara, Kara, Kara, Kimbiay
Kara, Kara, wait for me, when I return across the sea
Kara, Kara, I'll be back to stay
