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
