Proud devoted life for the British Empire
Loyal as its hounds
And fighting for a few pounds
How sailors can be wrong!
How beauty can be
More than tan Nereids greeting a ship!
None of all the curses
Of Mars and Neptune
Simply among the flowers
Life is passing by
Is all that I needed
In this heavenly isle
Reflected by pure waters
Swaying in her eyes?
For paradise for our love
We are mutineers
While chasing gold
We forgot the old
Nevermore fight
Nevermore sacrifice
Here all we are
Richer than kings scream
"Huzzah for Otaheite!"
For paradise for our love
We are mutineers
While chasing gold
We forgot the old
Nevermore fight
Nevermore sacrifice
For the companies
Offering souls to their endless hunger
"I am in hell
In hell, sir, I'm in hell!
Get off the ship!
Sail the waves of fate
Giving no more lashes on our pride!
We are mutineers
For our heaven here
On Otaheite!"
For paradise
We are mutineers
Richer than kings
All we are
No sacrifice
No more fight
Heaven is here
Huzzah for Otaheite!
