We took the boat, to go cruisin' on the sea
I held the wheel, and she was sitting next to me
Early in the morning, the sun was burning down
We were heading for Hawaii, leaving Honolulu town
We've been married for a month, thirty happy days
She was from Hawaii, and I was from another place
We left Honolulu, where we spent our honeymoon
We were carried by a strong wind, until late afternoon
The wind stopped blowing It happened suddenly
The boat stopped moving And we were stuck out on the sea
There was no land in sight, and it started getting dark
And we were surrounded by hundreds and hundreds of sharks
There were hundreds and hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of sharks
Swimmin' round and around and around and around in the dark
There were thousands and thousands and thousands of stars in the sky
Watchin' me and my wife and the sharks and the Islands Of Hawaii
There were absolutely nothing we could do to pick up speed
We had no dieselmotor, which we surely would have needed
So to pass the time, ten miles of the shore
She told me 'bout her past, things I've never heard before
She told stories 'bout her family, many centuries old
She told about the Islands, about silver and gold
So now you understand, that I have to say goodbye
Then she jumped into the water, but she didn't tell me why
There were hundreds and hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of sharks
Swimmin' round and around and around and around in the dark
There were thousands and thousands and thousands of stars in the sky
Watchin' me and my wife and the sharks and the Islands Of Hawaii
Five long years have gone, since that terrible day
And she never came back She's been staying away
I don't think they took her, I think the sharks just let her through
So I've been searching everywhere for her, now I'm asking you
Och han fortsatte bertta, en skggig, brungd man
Att han letat efter kvinnan, sen den dagen hon frsvann
Efter alla vrldens lnder, och p alla sju haven
Var nu turen kommen, till vrt eget Skandinavien
Sen tog han fram ett silveretui, och ur det ett gammalt och blekt fotografi
Han bad mig att betnka, om jag ngonsin sett,
Kvinnan som p bilden stod och log, den var skuren lite snett
Och en hundra gnger hundra gnger hundra gnger hundradel av ett
R vl chansen att han ngonsin, nn gng, nnstans ska trffa rtt
Och en tusen gnger tusen gnger tusen gnger tusendel av tv
R vl chansen att dom bda, ska varandra terf
Och en hundra gnger hundra gnger hundra gnger hundradel av ett
R vl chansen att han ngonsin, nn gng, nnstans ska trffa rtt
Och en tusen gnger tusen gnger tusen gnger tusendel av tv
R vl chansen att dom bda, ska varandra terf
