[Verse 1]
Here on the distant sunny shore of an island
All the troubles of the world seem far away
But here, on the broken city streets of the island
People work and live and love and struggle every day

[Verse 2]
Here on the Creole speaking side of the island
They say “Ou fe twop ti moun deja pa fe pitit anko"
Or in the truthful way they have of speaking on the island
“You have too many kids already, don’t make any more”

[Chorus]
But love is love, lovе is love
Love is love - Lanmou sе lanmou
Love is love, love is love
Love is love - Lanmou se lanmou

[Verse 3]
Menaj mwe is the finest girl who ever walked this island
Even when - especially when – she’s walking away
Something in her smile lets me believe in tomorrow
Even though life is next to impossible today
Maybe we won’t be in each other’s eyes forever
Maybe all we can do is hold each other, and say
[Chorus]
Love is love, love is love
Love is love - Lanmou se lanmou
Love is love, love is love
Love is love - Lanmou se lanmou
(Mmm love, love is love, love is love, ah ooh)

[Verse 4]
Rick rides a motorbike through the worst slums of the city
The father and the doctor to the poorest of the poor
Raising up the future from the rubble of the past
Here they say - L’espua fe viv – Hope makes life

[Chorus]
Love is love, love is love
Love is love - Lanmou se lanmou
Love is love, love is love
Love is love - Lanmou se lanmou
Love is love, love is love
(Here on this island, island of hope)
Love is love - Lanmou se lanmou
(Here we are home, lanmou se lanmou)
Love is love, love is love
(Never alone on this island of hope)
Love is love - Lanmou se lanmou
(Here we are home, lanmou se lanmou)
