This is my island in the sun,
Where my people have toiled since time begun.
I may sail on many a sea,
Her shores will always be home to me.

Oh, island in the sun,
Willed to me by my father's hand.
All my days I will sing in praise
Of your forest, waters, your shining sand.

As morning breaks the heaven on high,
I lift my heavy load to the sky,
Sun comes down with a burning glow,
Mingles my sweat with the earth below.

Oh, island in the sun,
Willed to me by my father's hand.
All my days I will sing in praise
Of your forest, waters, your shining sand

I see woman on bended knee
Cutting cane for her family,
I see men at the waterside
Casting nets at the surging tide.

Oh, island in the sun,
Willed to me by my father's hand.
All my days I will sing in praise
Of your forest, waters, your shining sand

I hope the day will never come
When I can't awake to the sound of drum.
Never let me miss carnival
With calypso songs philosophical.

Oh, island in the sun,
Willed to me by my father's hand.
All my days I will sing in praise
Of your forest, waters, your shining sand.

Mmh, Mmh, ...
