Ahé Tamouré

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 - . . .
