stormy are the waters
of restless waiapu
if you cross them, girl
they will be calmed

i could die
of love for you
i write you my letter
i send you my ring
so your people can see
how troubled i am
oh girl
come back to me
i could die
of love for you
oh girl
come back to me
i could die
of love for you
i could die
of love (for you). |
