Early this morning
I drove in the rain
out to the airport
to get on the plane
hey Honolulu
I’m going to happy Hawaii
Alice has been there
she said it was fun
swimming and surfing
enjoying the sun
hey Honololu
I’m going to happy Hawaii

After all I had to go through
I’m making no plans
But I, but I believe love
gives me a second chance

Yes I’ve been working
a little too hard
need a vacation
I’ll send you a card
from Honolulu
a greeting from happy Hawaii

It’s so exciting
why should I pretend
in a few hours
the plane will descend
hey Honolulu
I’m going to happy Hawaii
I can imagine
the beach and the sand
walking with someone
and holding his hand
hey Honolulu
I’m going to happy Hawaii

After all I had to go through
I’m making no plans
but I, but I believe love
gives me a second chance

I’ve got a feeling
the dream will come true
somebody’s waiting
and I forget you
hey Honolulu
I’m going to happy Hawaii

They say a restless body
can hide a peaceful soul
a voyager and a settler
they both have a distant goal
if I explore the heavens
or if I search inside
well - it really doesn’t matter
as long as I can tell myself
I’ve always tried

Like a roller in the ocean
life is motion
move on
like a wind that’s always blowing
life is flowing
move on
like the sunrise in the morning
life is dawning
move on
how I treasure every minute
being part of it
being in it
with the urge to move on

I’ve travelled every country
I’ve travelled in my mind
it seems we’re on a journey
a trip through space and time
and somewhere lies the answer
to all the questions why
what really makes the difference
between all dead
and living things
the will to stay alive

Like a roller in the ocean
life is motion
move on
like a wind that’s always blowing
life is flowing
move on
like the sunrise in the morning
life is dawning
move on
how I treasure every minute
being part of it
being in it
with the urge to move on

The morning breeze that ripples
the surface of the sea
the crying of the seagulls
that hover over me
I see it and I hear it
but how can I explain
the wonder of the moment
to be alive
to feel the sun
that follows every rain

Like a roller in the ocean
life is motion
move on
like a wind that’s always blowing
life is flowing
move on
like the sunrise in the morning
life is dawning
move on
how I treasure every minute
being part of it
being in it
with the urge to move on

I have a very good friend
the kind of girl
who likes to follow a trend
she has a personal style
some people like it
others tend to go wild
you hear her voice everywhere
taking the chair
she’s a leading lady
and with no trace of hesitation
she keeps going

Head over heels
breaking her way
pushing through unknown
jungles every day
she’s a girl
with a taste for the world
(the world is like a playing-ground
where she goes rushing)
head over heels
setting the pace
running the gauntlet
in a whirl of lace
she’s extreme
if you know what I mean

Her man is one I admire
he’s so courageous
but he’s constantly tired
each time when he speaks his mind
she pats his head and says
“that’s all very fine
exert that will of your own
when you’re alone
now we’d better hurry”
and with no trace of hesitation
she keeps going

Head over heels
breaking her way
pushing through unknown
jungles every day
she’s a girl
with a taste for the world
(the world is like a playing-ground
where she goes rushing)
head over heels
setting the pace
running the gauntlet
in a whirl of lace
she’s extreme
if you know what I mean

You hear her voice everywhere
taking the chair
she’s a leading lady
and with no trace of hesitation
she keeps going

Head over heels
breaking her way
pushing through unknown
jungles every day
she’s a girl
with a taste for the world
(the world is like a playing-ground
where she goes rushing)
head over heels
setting the pace
running the gauntlet
in a whirl of lace
she’s extreme
if you know what I mean
(I think she’s one of those who always
likes to do whatever she feels)
and she goes
head over heels

Chiquitita, tell me what’s wrong
you’re enchained by
your own sorrow
in your eyes
there is no hope for tomorrow
how I hate to see you like this
there is no way you can deny it
I can see that you’re
oh so sad, so quiet

Chiquitita, tell me the truth
I’m a shoulder you can cry on
your best friend
I’m the one you must rely on
you were always sure of yourself
now I see you’ve broken a feather
I hope we can
patch it up together

Chiquitita
you and I know
how the heartaches
come and they go
and the scars they’re leavin’
you’ll be dancin’ once again
and the pain will end
you will have no time for grievin’
Chiquitita
you and I cry
but the sun is still in the sky
and shining above you
let me hear you sing once more
like you did before
sing a new song
Chiquitita
try once more
like you did before
sing a new song
Chiquitita

So the walls came tumblin’ down
and your love’s a blown out candle
all is gone and it seems
too hard to handle
Chiquitita, tell me the truth
there is no way you can deny it
I see that you’re
oh so sad, so quiet

Chiquitita
you and I know
how the heartaches
come and they go
and the scars they’re leavin’
you’ll be dancin’ once again
and the pain will end
you will have no time for grievin’
Chiquitita
you and I cry
but the sun is still in the sky
and shining above you
let me hear you sing once more
like you did before
sing a new song
Chiquitita
try once more
like you did before
sing a new song
Chiquitita
