Lyrics
(-“Bwoiiiii! Lawd have mercy!”.. "boomboclaat"
“Jah know star,
dat gyal tun up!”…)
⸻
verse 1
Barefoot walkin’ by di shore,
Sunset glowin’, gyal, mi heart want more,
But mi know seh yuh outta reach,
Like a dream weh di tide just wash from di beach.
Mi watch yuh dance, mi watch yuh smile,
Every move yuh mek, gyal, drive mi wild,
Di way yuh hair just catch di breeze,
Like a melody, mi lost in di ease.
“Yeaahhh mann! Gyal, yuh mash up di place!”
⸻
She deh pon mi mind like a riddim,
But mi cyaan seh di words, mi just listen,
Like a secret di ocean haffi keep,
Mi love fi yuh deep, deep, deep.
“RAAASS! She a real-life goddess!”
“Fire bun! She hotter dan di tropics!”
She deh pon mi mind like di moonlight,
Shinin’ but never fi hold tight,
Platonic but burnin’ so real,
Like di waves pon di shore mi feel.
⸻
Every time mi hear yuh laugh,
feeling something runnin’ thru mi heart,
Yuh nah even know di way mi feel,
Like di sun to di sea, dis love cyaan reveal.
Mi cyaan step, mi cyaan tell,
Cuz yuh a magic, a island spell,
Mi haffi watch from far an’ dream,
Gyal, yuh di light inna mi unseen.
“Woooooiii! Mi need some watah, she too hot!”
“BOMBOCLATT!!
Gyal tun up di heat!”
⸻
Mi seh, mi seh…
How di breeze call yuh name?
How di tide whisper yuh fame?
Mi lost inna yuh hurricane,
But mi cyaan touch di flame.
“Lawd have mercy… she a queen.”
⸻
raggamuffin rub a dub verse
Blaze up di fire, take a draw real slow,
Clouds start twist like di way yuh go,
Inna mi mind, gyal, we deh pon di sand,
Movin’ to di riddim, fingers inna hand.
Smoke rise up, turn to golden light,
Yuh spin ‘round soft like a wave in flight,
Barefoot dancin’, stars in yuh eyes,
But mi open mi sight… an’ yuh still inna di sky.
“Yuh see dat? Even di smoke know she a goddess!”
⸻
She deh pon mi mind like a riddim,
But mi cyaan seh di words, mi just listen,
Like a secret di ocean haffi keep,
Mi love fi yuh deep, deep, deep.
She deh pon mi mind like di moonlight,
Shinin’ but never fi hold tight,
Platonic but burnin’ so real,
Like di waves pon di shore mi feel.
“Yoooo! Dis a history, mi bredda!”
“Somebody call di fire truck, she too hot!”
—
Yeah, yeah…
She deh pon mi mind…
Like di tide, she come an’ go…
But mi heart still beat pon di same flow…
Yo, gyal… mi cyaan let go.
“Yow… she a legend.”
“She nuh real… she a vision!”
