[Verse 1]
A white cliff above the water
Looks down as if into the palm of a hand
An old stone sleeps by the gate
And the salty wind strikes the granite
Boats line up at the pier
Laughter drifts across the sunset
I walk along the narrow steps
And this island beckons me.
[Chorus]
Bonifacio, what a cool town!
Bonifacio, perched on the edge of Corsica.
Bonifacio, your white light
Won’t let me go—no, it won’t.
Bonifacio, the water sings
Bonifacio, it draws me here
Bonifacio, as long as the waves roll
I keep coming back here.
[Verse 2]
In the alleyways, there’s shade and coolness
The surf trembles against the windowpanes
While the heat stalks along the walls
Windows glow in the courtyards
An old table, a glass of wine
Someone’s song drifting from a window
Silence here is like a gift
And the sunrise is pure bliss!
[Pre-Chorus]
Where the cliffs slice through the sky
Where the morning smells of bread
I lose all my paths
And find myself at your doorstep once again.
[Chorus]
Bonifacio, hold me close
Bonifacio, at the edge of the day
Bonifacio, your white light
Won’t let me go—no, it won’t.
Bonifacio, the water sings
Bonifacio, it draws me here
Bonifacio, as long as the waves roll
I keep coming back here.
[Bridge]
And if the world is stormy once again
I will return to your stone steps
Where the sea speaks to me
And I will find peace for my heart. [Final Chorus]
Bonifacio, hold me
Bonifacio, at the edge of the day
Bonifacio, your white light
Won’t let me go, no
Bonifacio, the water sings
Bonifacio, it leads me here
Bonifacio, as long as there’s a wave
I return here once again
