Margarita Israel Kamakawiwo'ole

[Verse 1]
On a hilltop in Tahiti as I gaze across the bay
At the island of Moorea, standing in the day
Oh my lovely Margarita serving cool Hīnano beer
I’ll be a fool in paradise if I’m a fool out here

[Chorus]
Ia orana, can you stand the heat?
Ia orana, bouncing in bare feet
Ia orana, when you laugh at me
Ia orana, say I….I’m in ecstasy

[Verse 2]
Her name is Margarita and the salt upon your lips
Tell me lemon and tequila is the flavor of your kiss
All the magic and the beauty and the humor of this isle
Captured like a goldfish in the sparkle of your smile

[Chorus]
Ia orana, can you stand the heat?
Ia orana, bouncing in bare feet
Ia orana, when you laugh at me
Ia orana, say I….I’m in ecstasy

[Verse 3]
The sunshine warms your mountain
Snd it paints you golden brown
These waters lap around you where I only hope to drown
The coconut plantation, the sea and sky are blue
The South Pacific islands they are all caressing you
