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
