On a tropical sunny day
I saw you, my love, for the first
you sat by my side on the sand

we sang, hugged and kissed
drank, danced and kissed


Tondeleyo
Tondeleyo


Never can I forget your dark eyes
and never would two happier hearts beat


Tondeleyo
Tondeleyo


So carefree and ecstatic
in your arms I lay
and often have I loved since then

but never as hot as then
never as hot as then


Tondeleyo
Tondeleyo


I would most of all have spent all my life sleeping
at your side in a small native hut
