One Particular Harbour - Jimmy Buffett

«We're going to that one particular harbour.

Take our Caribbean roots with us,

huh?

You certainly look dressed for the occasion.»

Ia ora te natura

E mea arofa teie ao nei

Ia ora te natura

E mea arofa teie ao nei

I know I don’t get there often enough

But God knows I surely try

It’s a magic kind of medicine

That no doctor could prescribe

I used to rule my world from a pay phone

Ships out on the sea

But now times are rough

Oh I got too much stuff

I can’t explain the likes of me

But there’s this one particular harbor

So far but yet so near

Where I see the days as they fade away

Finally disappear

But then I think about the good times

Down in the Caribbean sunshine

In my younger days I was so bad

Laughin' about all the fun we’ve had

I seen enough to feel the world spin

Mixin' different oceans meetin' cousins

Listen to the drummers and the night sounds

Listen to the singers make the world go 'round

Ia ora te natura

E mea arofa teie ao nei

Ia ora te natura

E mea arofa teie ao nei

Lakes below the mountain

Flow into the sea

Like oils applied to canvas

Oh how they permeate through me

But there’s this one particular harbor

Sheltered from the wind

Where the children play on the shore each day

And all are safe within

A most mysterious calling harbor

So far but yet so near

Where I see the day when my hair’s full gray

And I finally disappear

Ia ora te natura

E mea arofa teie ao nei

Ia ora te natura

E mea arofa teie ao nei

Ia ora te natura

E mea arofa teie ao nei

Ia ora te natura

E mea arofa teie ao nei

Ia ora te natura

E mea arofa teie ao nei

Ia ora te natura

E mea arofa teie ao nei

Ia ora te natura

E mea arofa teie ao nei
