Bali Ha'i may call you

Any night, any day.
In your heart you'll hear it call you:
"Come away, come away."

Bali Ha'i will whisper

On the wind of the sea:
"Here am I, your special island!
Come to me, come to me!"

Your own special hopes,

Your own special dreams
Bloom on the hillside
And shine in the streams.

If you try, you'll find me

Where the sky meets the sea.
"Here am I, your special island!
Come to me, come to me!"
