Chinguarime beach is one of the last hippy paradises of Europe, on the south coast of la Gomera in the Canary Islands. Full of naked Germans living in caves, most of whom miss their flight home, stay for 7 years and go completely mad.
lyrics
CHINGUARIME BLUES
I climbed over a mountain and came to the sea,
and there was a free cave waiting for me.
The weather is perfect, but one thing's bothering me:
I just missed my plane home:
home is where I feel really at home...
In Chinguarime,
Chinguarime not,
Chinguarime bay,
Chinguarime blues,
macadamia days...
Life here is so simple, why don't we just stay?
One call to the office, they'll cope anyway!
And if I stay forever, who will miss me
if I never go home?
Home is where I am already home...
In Chinguarime,
Chinguarime bay,
Chinguarime blues,
What's new today?
A few falling rocks!
Far across the black horizon,
a world in love with its own destruction:
mother, is it any wonder
we take such pride in our private dungeons?
3 years have gone by now, 3 years in a cave.
No reason to worry, no reason to shave;
no reason to hurry: until I count all the stones
I can never go home,
I'll send postcards to my children back home...
from Chinguarime,
Chinguarime not,
Chinguarime bay,
the land time forgot:
what day is today
in Chinguarime?
Chinguarime not
Chinguarime blues
I've broken my shoes
macadamia nuts!
Rumours of a storm in Thailand,
yet another euro crisis,
today I'll burn my driving license,
oh my God! I've lost my lighter!!
