Silken colors of the sunrise Balmy breezes at high noon Flickering shadows in the twilight Mystic shadows in the night Palms are swaying all their silvery fronds To the tempo of the gentle Trade wind breeze My lonely heart is yearning for those moonlit shores Alluring isles of Samoa Happy islands set in emerald seas 'Neath the magic of the blue Pacific sky I'd be content to linger there forevermore In that tropic paradise I long to sit beside the quiet blue lagoon In the magic twilight o'er the bay From that twilight comes a tender haunting voice Samoa is calling me to stay O lau o niu ua fa'alala fuana'i Ona ua saviligia e le matagi E faigata o fa'agalo lou igoa Le nu'u pele o Samoa Tui moana le atunu'u o fiafiaga Lou lagi o sami e fusia le Pasifikana Ta fia nofo i ou alaalafaga Parataiso Teropikana -Instrumental Solo - I must return to my dear homeland across the sea To those islands fringed with golden coral shores Happy children singing under the stars That's the Lure of Samoa... .Samoa
