Aloha Heja He [English translation]

I've been around the whole world

From Singapore to Aberdeen

If you ask where I liked it most

I say - Sansibar

T'was a hard crossing

Ten weeks I just scrubbed the deck

I cursed the world, spit into the wind

And swallowed saltwater

When we dropped anchor T'was blissful silence

The sun standing vertically in the sky

When i looked past the railing It felt like a dream

There were a thousand boats And they kept straight at us

In the boats there were men and women

Their bodies glistening in the sun

And they sang a song

That sounded strangely familiar

But I never had heard it that way

oooohh.. But I never had heard it that way

Aloha heja he, aloha heja he

Aloha heja he

Aloha heja he, aloha heja he

Aloha heja he

They moored their boats alongside

And the wind carried over their laughter

They took off their floral wreaths

And threw them towards us

And thats how the party got started

Aloha heja he, aloha heja he

Aloha heja he

Aloha heja he, aloha heja he

Aloha heja he

I've seen paradise

It was around nineteenhundred and ten

The helmsman had sailors on the mast (1)

And the purser was eaten by gonorrhea

But other than that we were all in great health

Aloha heja he, aloha heja he

Aloha heja he

Aloha heja he, aloha heja he

Aloha heja he

Aloha heja he, aloha heja he

Aloha heja he

Aloha heja he, aloha heja he

Aloha heja he

Aloha heja he, aloha heja he

Aloha heja he

Aloha heja he, aloha heja he

Aloha heja he
