Listen to the song the birds are singing
Of the southern isles across the sea
Island gems within a coral setting
Islands of the sunny southern sea.
Bright the sky above with golden sunshine
Flooding all the lands with warmth and light
See the palm trees swaying to the ocean
Whisp'ring songs of love by day and night.
Across the sea those sunny isles are calling
Calling to the wand'rer to return
Bidding me come back to dear Hawai'i
To those lovely isles across the sea
See the surf comes rolling ever onwards
Meets the land and melts in creamy foam
Breaks upon the shore and scatters quickly
Like a million pearls let loose to roam.
Watch the spray which melts in liquid sunshine
Tossed up from the bosom of the deep
High above in varied colors forming
Like the mermaids rising from their sleep.
Across the sea those sunny isles are calling
Calling to the wand'rer to return
Bidding me come back to dear Hawai'i
To those lovely isles across the sea
