Verse 1

In the heart of our city, the groove lays sweet,
The music pulsates beneath our feet,
We sway with the rhythm, lost in the beat,
This is our haven, where life isn’t fleet.

Chorus

In Bluefields, where the mangoes bloom,
We dance away our gloom,
Underneath the indigo moon,
To the rhythm of the drum’s boom.

Verse 2

As the melodica sings a tale of joy,
Each note, a symbol, we employ,
To fight the world’s ploys,
With music, our most loyal envoy.

Chorus

In Bluefields, where the mangoes bloom,
We cast away our sorrow’s gloom,
Tranquil as a quiet lagoon,
In the arms of the reggae tune.

Verse 3

So come, join our harmonious commune,
Where love flourishes, heartstrings are attuned,
Here, life’s hardships are immune,
In the heart of Bluefields, forever marooned.

Chorus

In Bluefields, where the mangoes bloom,
We dance away life’s testing gloom,
Underneath the indigo moon,
To the rhythm of the drum’s eternal boom.
