When I was south sea bound on a lovely isle



When the people

they dance and play



Well

a beautiful man with a south sea tan -

He taught me Tahitian .tamoure.

Tahiti come to me

Tahiti man

I see

You with your love that's so true.

I feel your warm soft breeze through the tall palm trees

And my heart

it yearns for you.

Ahe tamoure tamoure -

Sway your hips and tell me stories with your hands.

Ahe tamoure tamoure -

Remind me of sun and shining sands.



His eyes would shine so bright in the morning light

As we moved and felt so free

And when he showed me ways to dance the tamoure -

I knew he would remember me.

I moved my hips just so

just let my body go

And then he moved so close to me.

We danced around an round moved closer to the ground

As the drums played hu-ahe-ni beat.

Ahe

tamoure tamoure - . . .

Ahe tamoure tamoure -

Ahe tamoure tamoure - . . .
