Chris Rea - Tamatave

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 the 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 the sun
I wanna 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**

I I need the sand between my toes
Tamatave my red hair girl she knows
Tamatave je ton ton mapelay
Tamatave je ton ton mapelay
Tommasina I hear you calling me, calling me
Tamatave je ton ton mapelay, yeah
