You appear on the horizon, far away

My desire to be there with you

Stirs the wind and fills the sails.

In the bay I drop the anchor down, swim ashore

On the beach the coconut palms,

Jasmine, frangipane and you...



Your silent eyes convince me

I'm marooned

We're safe inside this azure blue lagoon



I want to know you, bird of paradise

I want to show you, all the love that I feel

I need to touch you, bird of paradise

I need your touch to make this fantasy real



On sea o storm is raging, far away

And the ships - like so many toys -

Fear the wind and fight the waves

In your amrs it's a forgotten dream,

nothing more

Here the sky is perfectly clear

Evening star, the moonlight and you



Your silent eyes convince me

I'm marooned

We're safe inside this azure blue lagoon



I want to know you, bird of paradise

I want to show you, all the love that I feel

I need to touch you, bird of paradise

I need your touch to make this fantasy real



I want to know you, bird of paradise

I want to show you, all the love that I feel



Just you and me, a mango tree

The bare necessities of love

My bird of paradise, I realize

That you were sent here from above

You're my bird

Of paradise

My bird of paradise
