Текст песни: Islands + перевод

I’ve been to Pensacola, but never to Rome

I’ve walked the waters of the Gulf of Mexico

I always liked the bay over the oceanside

The calmer waters seemed more inviting

But maybe that was because it was long ago

And now I’ve grown old and more practical

The islands are a-calling

The islands are a-calling

I’m flying in, drinking champagne

On this pleasure boat

Just like the California coast

The islands are a-calling

The islands are a-calling

You told me to go, and have a good time

That it’d be silly to let it slip by

So I took your advice

So I’m drinking margaritas on a Saturday night

You are looking real fine and you’re feeling alright

But my world came crashing down right as I got off the plane

When a phone call came in and this is what they said:

«You've got to go home»

«You've got to go home»

The islands are a-calling

The islands are a-calling

I’m flying in, drinking champagne

On this pleasure boat

Just like the California coast

On this island in the middle of the ocean

I’m still wearing my bathrobe with the windows open

Eating breakfast of fancy coffee and eggs

There’s palm trees and driftwood just like Hemingway said

But when I called you on the phone, I heard your rambling words

You must have known it was me in a state of disbelief

There’s parties going on every night of the week

But the ghosts of the ocean are talking most loudly

You’ve got to go home

You’ve got to go home

The islands are a-calling

The islands are a-calling

You told me to go, and have a good time

That it’d be silly to let it slip by

So I took your advice

You let me go

You must have known

That your pleasure was gone

You let me go

You must have known

That your pleasure was gone

Flying out, I see the coral reef

Just like a map, how it shows impossible relief

I never liked planes, but it’s naïve to think

That it was better when you couldn’t see a thing

If this were another time, I don’t know where I’d be

I might have never left your side or miss it entirely

But here we are on this beautiful day

Eating for pleasure, together one last time

The islands are a-calling

The islands are a-calling

I’m flying in, drinking champagne

On this pleasure boat

Just like the California coast
