Tamatave

Chris Rea

Je veux sentir le sable

Entre mes doigts de pieds

Tamatave ma petite rouquine

Elle la sait



Long grass dancing in the day

Blue sky palm trees gently sway

I come from a land down in sun

Sit on the beach and watch the waves run



I need the sand between my toes

Tamatave my red hair girl she knows



Tamatave je t'entends m'appeler

Tamatave je t'entends m'appeler

Tommasina I hear you calling me

Tamatave je t'entends m'appeler



I feel so strange on city streets

I got these big shoes on my feet

I come from a land down in sun

Sit on the beach and watch the waves run



Tamatave je ton ton mapelay

Tamatave je ton ton mapelay

Tommasina I hear you calling me

Tamatave je ton ton mapelay
