Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Als ich nach Bora Bora kam
Und mir den Strand als Zimmer nahm
Streckte ich meine Beine aus
Fühlte mich wie zu Haus
Palmen und Blüten um mich her
Klar wie Kristall das blaue Meer
Ein Vogel sang im Mangobaum
Alles war wie ein Traum
Refr.: Bora Bora Hey, Bora Bora in Tahiti hey
Mein Paradies im Sommerwind
Wo alle Menschen glücklich sind
Bora Bora Hey, Bora Bora in Tahiti hey
Wo Allen gleich die Sonne scheint
Ist Jeder des Anderen Freund
Chor: 2 x Bora Bora in Tahiti hey
10.000 Meilen von zu Haus
Brach dann bei mir das Heimweh aus
Doch ich denk´ noch heut´ mein Herz zerspringt
Wenn dieses Lied erklingt
Refr.: Bora Bora Hey, Bora Bora in Tahiti hey
Mein Paradies im Sommerwind
Wo alle Menschen glücklich sind
Bora Bora Hey, Bora Bora in Tahiti hey
Wo Allen gleich die Sonne scheint
Ist Jeder des Anderen Freund
Chor: 2 x Bora Bora in Tahiti hey
Bora Bora Hey, Bora Bora Hey...
