[Куплет 1] I took the footpath past the breadfruit tree Where the painted sign had lost its arrow A fisherman laughed, said, “follow the breeze” So i left my plans in the shade below [Алдынғы қайырма] Past the old stone steps, past the gulls’ slow flight One more bend, then the whole world widened [Қайырма] I found a cove the map forgot to name Soft blue water, warm sand, a little flame Of sunlight caught in the palms above I came for nowhere, and stumbled on paradise No schedule to keep, no reason to leave Just the tide keeping time with me [Куплет 2] A red boat rocked by a rope of green And a shell lay bright where the waves withdrew I shared my orange with a boy named jean He pointed out where the reef shines through [Алдынғы қайырма] The afternoon leaned like a hammock swing And every small surprise felt like everything [Қайырма] I found a cove the map forgot to name Soft blue water, warm sand, a little flame Of sunlight caught in the palms above I came for nowhere, and stumbled on paradise No schedule to keep, no reason to leave Just the tide keeping time with me [Көпір] When i tell the story, i’ll leave out the way I checked every turn and nearly walked away The best little places don’t call from afar They wait where you wander, just as you are [Final chorus] I found a cove the map forgot to name Soft blue water, warm sand, a little flame Of sunlight caught in the palms above I came for nowhere, and stumbled on paradise No schedule to keep, no reason to leave Just the tide keeping time with me [Аутро] I’ll take the long way back tomorrow If the breeze still has a road to show
