Black Pearl
Moana & The Moa Hunters Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Dont need a map to guide me.
My heart will find the way too go.
Dont care how long it takes me.
No matter what I'll fight through every foe.
My heart beats just for you.
There is no moment that I forget you.
If only, your shadow was on the distance horizon above the sea.
Yeah, I raise my sail for the long quest.
Riding the wind with no rest.
Woah oh woah oh woah oh woah oh.
Let the raging sea become quiet and calm.
Flowers bloom in the night.
Moonlight make the sea white.
In this secret place
You're my beautiful black pearl.
Flowers bloom in the night.
Moonlight make the sea white.




In this secret place.
You're my beautiful black pearl.
