Ahe Tamoure

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 tamouré

Tahiti come to me

Tahiti, man

I see

You with your love that's so, so true.

I feel your warm soft breeze through the tall palm trees

And my heart,

It yearns for you

Ahé tamouré tamouré

Sway your hips and tell me stories with your hands

Ahé tamouré tamouré

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 tamouré

I knew he would remember me

I moved my hips just so

And let my body go

And then he moved so close to me

We danced around and round moved closer to the ground

As the drums played hu-ahe-ni beat

Ahé tamouré tamouré

Sway your hips and tell me stories with your hands

Ahé tamouré tamouré

Remind me of sun and shining sands

Ahé tamouré tamouré

Sway your hips and tell me stories with your hands

Ahé tamouré tamouré

Remind me of sun and shining sands

Ahé tamouré tamouré

Sway your hips and tell me stories with your hands
