Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Every night, every day
Here am I
Your special island
Come away, come away
Bali Ha'i will whisper
Where the sky
Here am I
Your special island
Come to me, come to me
Your own special hopes
Your own special dreams
Bloom on the hillsides
And shine in the streams
If you look
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, Bali Ha'i
The lyrics of Susaye Greene's song "Bali Ha'i" are a call to escape reality and find solace in a special island. The words speak of Bali Ha'i calling every night and every day, urging the listener to come away from their mundane life and seek refuge on this island. Bali Ha'i is personified as a whisperer who promises to be the listener's special island. The island is described as a place where the sky meets the sea, a place where the listener's own special hopes and dreams can bloom on the hillsides and shine in the streams. The lyrics speak to the desire for a special place that is a respite from the pressures of everyday life.
The words "Bali Ha'i" were made famous by the musical "South Pacific," which tells the story of American sailors and military personnel stationed on an island in the South Pacific during World War II. The song became a hit after the release of the musical and has since been covered by various artists. In the song, the reference to Bali Ha'i is a mythical island that is said to be shrouded in mist and only visible at certain times. The island represents an escape from reality and a place where dreams can come true.
