G/D  D* G  D  
I like to spend some time in Mozambique
G/D  D* G  D  
The sunny sky is aqua blue
G/D  D* G  D  
And all the couples dancing cheek to cheek.
CIt's very Gnice to Dstay a week or two,
CAnd maybe Gfall in Dlove just me and you.
There's lots of pretty girls in Mozambique
And plenty time for good romance
And everybody likes to stop and speak
To give the special one you seek a chance
Or maybe say hello with just a glance.
BmLying next to her by the F#mocean
EmReaching out and touching her Dhand,
BmWhispering your secret eF#mmotion
GMagic in a magical Aland.
And when it's time for leaving Mozambique
To say goodbye to sand and sea,
You turn around to take a final peek
And you see why it's so unique to be
Among the lovely people living free
Upon the beach of sunny Mozambique.

The story behind the song

"Mozambique" playfully presents the newly independent nation as little more than a romantic, sun-drenched escape. While some listeners hoped it would be a political statement given the country's recent ten-year insurgency war, the lyrics largely depict it as an exotic backdrop for a getaway, with only a brief nod to "people living free." This satirical approach amused fans who recognized the irony, contrasting with the serious political themes often found in Dylan's work. The song's melody, featuring violin, has been praised as "playful" and "great."
