Bali Ha'i
Peggy Lee Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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
Bali Ha'I, Bali Ha'I, Bali Ha'I
Someday you'll see me floating in the sunshine
My head sticking out of a low-flying cloud
You'll hear me call you, singing through the sunshine
Sweet and clear as can be
Come to me, here I am, come to me
Bali Ha'I, Bali Ha'I, Bali Ha'I

The lyrics suggest that Bali Ha'i is not an imaginary place, but rather a real destination that can be found "where the sky meets the sea."
The song paints a vivid picture of Bali Ha'i as a place of beauty, mystery, and romance. It's a place where one can escape the everyday world and find a kind of inner peace. The song's refrain, "come to me," is an invitation to the listener to journey to Bali Ha'i and experience its magic for themselves.
