Текст песни
[Verse 1]
You point where the red earth meets the sea
A lemur leaps through the tamarind tree
Baobab keeps its wide arms raised
While warm wind wanders through the vanilla bays
[Pre-Chorus]
You know the path, I’ll follow your feet
Past little market stalls and the dust-road heat
[Chorus]
Madagascar, carry us along
From the forest edge to the shorebird song
You and me where the wild things roam
Every winding trail can lead us home
Madagascar, bright beneath our feet
Salt in the air and a sun-warmed beat
[Verse 2]
You laugh as a chameleon changes its coat
A pirogue rocks by the harbor boats
Rain taps time on the traveler’s hat
And a zebu turns to see where we’re at
[Pre-Chorus]
You know the path, I’ll follow your feet
Past little market stalls and the dust-road heat
[Chorus]
Madagascar, carry us along
From the forest edge to the shorebird song
You and me where the wild things roam
Every winding trail can lead us home
Madagascar, bright beneath our feet
Salt in the air and a sun-warmed beat
[Bridge]
When the red hills fade in the evening blue
I’ll keep this long road close to you
One more bend, one more open bay
Tell me we can stay another day
[Final Chorus]
Madagascar, carry us along
From the forest edge to the shorebird song
You and me where the wild things roam
Every winding trail can lead us home
Madagascar, bright beneath our feet
Salt in the air and a sun-warmed beat
[Outro]
You and me, one more day
Madagascar, lead the way
You point where the red earth meets the sea
A lemur leaps through the tamarind tree
Baobab keeps its wide arms raised
While warm wind wanders through the vanilla bays
[Pre-Chorus]
You know the path, I’ll follow your feet
Past little market stalls and the dust-road heat
[Chorus]
Madagascar, carry us along
From the forest edge to the shorebird song
You and me where the wild things roam
Every winding trail can lead us home
Madagascar, bright beneath our feet
Salt in the air and a sun-warmed beat
[Verse 2]
You laugh as a chameleon changes its coat
A pirogue rocks by the harbor boats
Rain taps time on the traveler’s hat
And a zebu turns to see where we’re at
[Pre-Chorus]
You know the path, I’ll follow your feet
Past little market stalls and the dust-road heat
[Chorus]
Madagascar, carry us along
From the forest edge to the shorebird song
You and me where the wild things roam
Every winding trail can lead us home
Madagascar, bright beneath our feet
Salt in the air and a sun-warmed beat
[Bridge]
When the red hills fade in the evening blue
I’ll keep this long road close to you
One more bend, one more open bay
Tell me we can stay another day
[Final Chorus]
Madagascar, carry us along
From the forest edge to the shorebird song
You and me where the wild things roam
Every winding trail can lead us home
Madagascar, bright beneath our feet
Salt in the air and a sun-warmed beat
[Outro]
You and me, one more day
Madagascar, lead the way
Стиль музыки
Upbeat island pop with a lively Afro-pop groove, buoyant hand percussion, woody marimba and mallet motifs, bright plucked guitar, rounded bass, and sunny group harmonies. Open with a nimble percussion-and-mallet hook, build into punchy verses, lift with broad melodic choruses, add a brief call-and-response bridge, then finish on a rhythmic group-vocal refrain. Warm, polished mix with crisp percussion and an organic, playful feel.
