Red and blue long dresses
Flowered leis around their necks
Floral arrangement on their heads
Soft harmonious music playing
Singer has a mellow, enchanting voice
Singing in a language I don’t understand
But it doesn’t matter because
The singing and the music is so good
Seven women dancing on a beach on a sunny day
Swaying to the music like Tahitian goddesses
Transported to earth from some other world
Oh how beautiful their movements look
Oh how peaceful it makes me feel
Watching them dance and hearing the music
If only the world could be as
Peaceful as this music and this dancing
Makes my mind and my soul feel:
