Text
[Intro]
[Tropical birds, distant waves and soft wind]
[Pan flute plays a joyful rising melody]
Heya... heya...
Nalo!
[Group]
Heya nalo, heya nei!
Tamba sola, lei-lei-lei!
[Percussion enters]
[Verse 1 – Male]
Morning fire above the sea,
Calling every heart to be free.
Leave your worries in the sand,
Come and take me by the hand.
Drums are waking up the shore,
Every beat is asking for more.
When the rhythm fills the air,
We will find our freedom there.
[Pre-Chorus – Female]
Raise your hands into the sun,
Tonight our journey has begun.
Hear the island calling loud,
We are stronger in the crowd!
[Chorus – Lead and Group]
[Lead]
Heya nalo!
[Group]
Heya nei!
[Lead]
Feel the fire!
[Group]
Lead the way!
[Together]
Heya nalo, heya nei,
Dance until the break of day.
Tamba sola, lei-lei-lei,
Let the rhythm carry us away!
Heya nalo!
[Group]
Heya nei!
[Lead]
Sing together!
[Group]
Come what may!
[Together]
Every mountain, every sea,
Hears the sound of you and me!
Heya nalo!
Heya nei!
[Post-Chorus]
Na-lo, na-lo!
Hey, hey, hey!
Na-lo, na-lo!
Lei-lei-lei!
[Pan flute answers the choir]
[Verse 2 – Female]
Golden colors fill the sky,
See the painted birds flying high.
Every stranger is a friend,
In this dance that has no end.
Hear the trumpets call our name,
See the night becoming a flame.
Different voices, different lands,
Now united hand in hand.
[Pre-Chorus – Male]
Raise your hands into the sun,
Tonight our journey has begun.
Hear a thousand voices rise,
Like a thunder through the sky!
[Chorus – Lead and Group]
[Lead]
Heya nalo!
[Group]
Heya nei!

Feel the fire!
[Group]
Lead the way!

Hears the sound of you and me!

Heya... heya...

[Bridge – Cinematic Half-Time]
[Male]
When the road is dark and long...
[Female]
We will answer with a song.
[Male]
When the storm is drawing near...
[Female]
We will dance without the fear.
[Together]
One earth turning, one sun burning,
One great river flowing free.
Every heartbeat, every story,
Joins the endless melody!

Let the rhythm carry us away!
Heya nalo, heya nei,
Raise your voices to the sky!
Every mountain, every sea,
Will remember you and me!
Heya nalo!

Heya nalo, heya nei,
We are one beneath the sun today!

Musikstyle
Epic tropical late-1970s European disco celebration, around 128–130 BPM, joyful major key, infectious four-on-the-floor rhythm and an immediate carnival atmosphere. Warm energetic male lead, bright female responses and a large mixed party choir performing playful call-and-response chants. Simple English verses and an enormous repetitive nonsense-syllable hook that can be sung by everyone. Begin with tropical birds, distant ocean waves and a prominent natural Pan flute melody. The Pan flute must be one of the main instruments: playing the opening hook, answering the vocals, performing a joyful solo in the instrumental break and soaring above the orchestra in the final chorus. Use lively congas, bongos, timbales, claves, shakers, tambourine, handclaps, deep tribal drums, melodic electric bass, crisp disco guitar, acoustic guitar, flamenco guitar, bright piano, warm analog synthesizers, sweeping strings, trumpets, trombones, saxophone, marimba, steel drums and subtle orchestral bells.
