Bobby

Six Years I've lived in the desert
And every night I dream of the sea
They say home is where you find it
But this place ever satisfy me.

E ono matahiti i te faeara'a
I roto i te metepara
Teie tou vahi faataahia
E vahi ra, aura'a ore.

Tou fenua, tou fenua
Tou aia tiai mai ia'u
My island home, my island home
My island home is waiting for me.

For I come from the saltwater people
We always lived by the sea
Now I'm out here west of Alice Springs
With a wife and a family.

E tama hoi au no te miti
Ua ora hoi au i te reira vahi
Faaea nei au i nia i te mou'a
E ta'u vahine, e ta'u tamarii.

In the evening the dry wind blows
From the hills and across the plains
I close my eyes and I'm standing
In a boat amount the sea again.

Tapea atura vau tau omore
Manao atura vau
E ua ora hoi au
Tou fenua tiai mai ia'u.
