Just to brighten things up, I will add something a bit more happier now! I did not really listen to Boney M when I was young. I think they were a hit for my aunts and uncles while I was playing outside and doing whatever. And when I say "doing whatever", I reaaaally mean it.
I've always been contradictory, even in my childhood. So while there has always been this calm thinker and the one that obeys the rules, there has also been this wild "i do what i want, i don't give a shit" rebel. I think most of the people would describe me as "silent", even "withdrawing". But I guess it was just a disguise cos I could also be the complete opposite. I used to get in trouble and even encourage other children to do crazy stunts with me. Like - for instance - emptying neighbour's playhouse from all things into our backyard with my cousine. The mother of girl next door wasn't too pleased when she realized that one! But, oh well - me and my cousine had a nice time playing that evening, ahahaha! My mom of course was terrified and ashamed when she found out and we had to go and return everything. The neighbour turned red while screaming to my mother that "your son is crazy!". Ok, I admit it - it was not exactly proper behaviour but I was a small kid, didn't even go to school yet. How the hell should I have known I could not take them?! I did learn my lesson that day and didn't empty the playhouse anymore... But I did pull a bunch of carrots off the ground with another friend at another neighbour's house! Haha. Such a monster, wasn't I? And again, I was the one who got my friend to join "the fun". Well, that fun did not last very long. We got punished for it. I had to call and apologize the mister and at the same time when I was crying and saying sorry, my father was laughing his head off around the corner... Simply because he had done the exact same thing when he was a kid. So I guess it runs in the family then, I am not to blame! I could go on telling you about the things I've done, but I think I'll save some for later time...
So, back to the songs I'm posting - while I was outside doing whatever, my aunts and uncles were listening to Boney M and the likes. I didn't discover Boney M until late 1980s, just about half a decade later. I enjoyed their energetic dance music with a touch of Caribbean joy. "Sunny" was one of the songs I liked the most (among others) and "Kalimba de Luna" (which I'll add here as well) has more of that ethnic sound. Both songs are bouncy and upbeat. Hope they brighten up your day!

Here are the lyrics for "Sunny":
Sunny, yesterday my life was filled with rain/ Sunny, you smiled at me and really eased the pain.
The dark days are gone, and the bright days are here/ My sunny one shines so sincere.
Sunny one so true, I love you.
Sunny, thank you for the sunshine bouquet/ Sunny, thank you for the love you brought my way.
You gave to me your all and all/ Now I feel ten feet tall/ Sunny one so true, I love you.
Sunny, thank you for the truth you let me see/ Sunny, thank you for the facts from a to c.
My life was torn like a windblown sand/ And the rock was formed when you held my hand.
Sunny one so true, I love you.
Sunny, thank you for the smile upon your face/ Sunny, thank you for the gleam that shows its grace.
Youre my spark of natures fire/ Youre my sweet complete desire/ Sunny one so true, I love you.
Sunny, yesterday my life was filled with rain/ Sunny, you smiled at me and really eased the pain.
The dark days are gone, and the bright days are here/ My sunny one shines so sincere.
Sunny one so true, I love you.
I love you/ I love you/ I love you/ I love you/ I love you/ I love you
And here is the video and the lyrics to "Kalimba de Luna":
In the land of the sunshine/ People know how to groove/ Making emotions/ Believin' in what they do
Kalimba De Luna/ Take me tonight/ Show me the way/ To get right on time
E.O.U.A. - on the rhythm/ Gente li ta los
E.O.U.A. - on the rhythm/ Gente li ta los
