Margarita - Israel Kamakawiwo'ole

On a hilltop in Tahiti as we gazed across the bay

At the island of Moorea, standing in the day

And my lovely Margarita serving cool Hinano beer

I’ll be a fool in paradise if I’m a fool out here

Chorus

Yo lana, can you stand the heat

Yo lana, bouncing in bare feet

Yo lana, when you laugh at me Yo lana, said I… I’m in ecstacy

Her name is Margarita and the salt upon your lips

Tell me lemon and tequila is the flavor of your kiss

All the magic and the beauty and the humor of this

Isle

Is captured like a goldfish in the sparkle of your

Smile

Repeat Chorus

The sunshine warms your mountain and it paints you

Golden brown

These waters lap around you where I only hope to drown

The coconut plantation, the sea and sky are blue

The south pacific islands they are all caressing you

Repeat Chorus

The crimson dress you’re wearing, with nothing

Underneath

The flower there behind your ear, the grass beneath

Your feet

Margarita, Margarita please dance with me tonight

We will dance together where the stars are shining

Bright

Repeat Chorus

Margarita, Margarita I come from far away

Let’s go take a dive down in Makawai Bay

Margarita, Margarita, we pokin Hinalea

We go in the dark and we don’t need a spear

Repeat Chorus
