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 - . . .
