Текст песни Leilani (Hoodoo Gurus) с переводом

Somewhere on a South Pacific island

Sits a young man staring at the surf

His native girlfriend died a death quite violent

A tribal sacrifice made to the Earth

(Whoa-oh, whoa-oh-oh-oh)

(Whoa-oh)

She was brown, her hair was black, her eyes were blue

A chief’s daughter, Leilani was her name

She and her young man made a handsome two

But lava tore them both apart again

(Whoa-oh, whoa-oh-oh-oh)

He’d say, «Leilani, don’t go to the volcano» (Whoa-oh)

(Whoa-oh, whoa-oh-oh-oh)

He’d say, «Please don’t go to the volcano» (Whoa-oh)

They were saving for a little hut

He collected sea shells every day

And every night he’d share a cigarette

But the ancient, angry Gods got in the way

(Whoa-oh, whoa-oh-oh-oh)

He’d say, «Leilani, don’t go to the volcano» (Whoa-oh)

(Whoa-oh, whoa-oh-oh-oh)

He would plead, «Please don’t go, I’ll miss you so» (Whoa-oh)

Oh-oh, oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Katoomba (Hey!), Macumba (Ho!)

Oomgawa

Katoomba (Hey!), Macumbah (Ho!)

Oomgawa

Katoomba (Hey!), Macumbah (Ho!)

Oomgawa!

Hey! (Ho) Ho! Hey! (Hey-ey)

Hey! (Ho) Ho! Hey! (Hey-ey)

Ah-ah

Leilani coola-boola-Ulladulla-huacatay

(Aba-laba-laba Hut! Aba-laba-laba Hut!)

Leilani never-get-a-hut-o'-terracotta-tile

(Aba-laba-laba Hut! Aba-laba-laba Hut!)

Oomgawa!

Hey! (Ho) Ho! Hey! (Hey-ey)

Hey! (Ho) Ho! Hey! (Hey-ey)

Hey! (Ho) Ho! Hey! (Hey-ey-ey-ey-ey)

Ah-ah

Ah-ah-ah

(Huh)

Still, the young man sits there on the beach

He’s staring misty-eyed out into space

He’s thinking about his girlfriend, the late deceased

At least her death had purpose, his life is a waste

(Whoa-oh, whoa-oh-oh-oh) And his life is a waste

«Please don’t go, I love you, I love you» (Whoa-oh)

«I love you so, whoa-oh» (Whoa-oh, whoa-oh-oh-oh)

She to him was to be wed (Whoa-oh)

She chose a mountain God instead

(Whoa-oh, whoa-oh-oh-oh) Instead

«Now listen, Leilani, I can’t stand this (Whoa-oh)

Carrying on around (Whoa-oh, whoa-oh-oh-oh)

Better come on down from that mound

You know that ain’t no sacred ground (Whoa-oh)

(Whoa-oh, whoa-oh-oh-oh)

Listen, please!»

Oh-oh, oh-oh

(Whoa-oh, whoa-oh-oh-oh) Oh-oh-oh-no

She’s gone, gone, gone, gone (Whoa-oh)

(Whoa-oh, whoa-oh-oh-oh)
