Mozambique Lyrics
The sunny sky is aqua blue
And all the couples dancing cheek to cheek.
It's very nice to stay a week or two,
And maybe fall in love just me and you.
And plenty time for good romance
And everybody likes to stop and speak
To give the special one you seek a chance
And maybe say hello with just a glance.
Reaching out and touching her hand,
Whispering your secret emotion
Magic in a magical land.
To say goodbye to sand and sea,
You turn around to take a final peek
And you see why it's so unique to be
Among the lovely people living free
Upon the beach of sunny Mozambique.
this song reminds me of a travel commercial.. still good though
the song was written during the civil war in mozambique and their fight for independence from portugal. I think dylan was being ironical, don't you?

This song illustrates the brilliance of Dylan, he paints a picture of Mozambique as a tropical paradise, but the reality of a war-torn country is much different.
Such a sweet song. Makes me want to travel there.
Apparently this song was written when Dylan and Levy wanted to see how many words they could find to rhyme with Mozambique!
And they got three..? :S
