Lyrics
[Intro] In the heart of the Indian Ocean, where the warm winds play, Lies a wonderland of islands, where the sun greets the day. [Verse 1] On the shores of Mahé, where Victoria stands proud, Granite peaks rise, brushing against the cloud. A mosaic of cultures, Creole, English, French, In the lush green jungles, histories entrench. [Pre-Chorus] From Aldabra to Silhouette, nature's beauty calls, A paradise of flora and fauna, where the tropic falls. [Chorus] Seychelles, oh Seychelles, where the azure meets the sand, A symphony of waves and sun, in this enchanted land. Seychelles, oh Seychelles, let your stories unfold, In whispers of the winds, and treasures untold. [Verse 2] With spices and coconut, the markets burst in hue, Fish curry on the table, a Creole favorite to pursue. From La Digue's cycling lanes, to Praslin’s ancient trees, Aldabra's giant tortoises roam with gentle ease. [Chorus] Seychelles, oh Seychelles, where the azure meets the sand, A symphony of waves and sun, in this enchanted land. Seychelles, oh Seychelles, let your stories unfold, In whispers of the winds, and treasures untold. [Bridge] Through songs in Creole voices, tales of freedom soar, Claiming independence in nineteen seventy-six, we roar. The oceans serenade us, with melodies so free, Seychelles, a garden floating, on the vast blue sea. [Final Chorus] Seychelles, oh Seychelles, where the azure meets the sand, A symphony of waves and sun, in this enchanted land. Seychelles, oh Seychelles, let your stories unfold, In whispers of the winds, and treasures untold. [Outro] Where time moves gently, and hearts remain true, Seychelles, we sing for the beauty in you.
