Most people live on a lonely island
Lost in the middle of a foggy sea
Most people long for another island
One where they know they would like to be
Bali Ha'i, may call you.
Any night, any day
In your heart you'll hear it call you
Come away, come away
Bali Ha'i, will whisper
On the wind of the sea
"Here am I your special island,"
"Come to me, Come to me"
Your own special hopes
Your own special dreams
Bloom on the hill side
And shine near the streams
If you try you'll find me
Where the sky meets the sea
Here am I your special island
Come to me, Come to me
Bali Ha'i
Bali Ha'i
Bali Ha'i
Someday you'll see me
Floating in the sunshine
My head sticking out from a low flying cloud
You'll hear me call you
Singing through the sunshine
Sweet and clear as can be
Come to me
Here am I
Come to me
If you try you'll find me
Where the sky meets the sea
Here am I your special island
Come to me, Come to me
Bali Ha'i
Bali Ha'i
Bali Ha'i

Bali Ha'i
Artist: Chalotte Church
Album: The Latin Mix 2
Song Length: 3:59
George's Thoughts: This operatic rendition of the hit from "South Pacific" is a highly unusual selection for a Rumba, yet it can work remarkably well because the slow, classical vocals lend themselves so well to syncopation in the dance. A bit slow for competition use, and not ideally suited for comps anyway, the song is a good choice for a show dance. A Cha Cha version of this song was created by the Empress Orchestra for Blackpool and can be found on the album "Blackpool My Blackpool 1."
Song Lyrics:
Dance: Rumba
Bars per Minute: 24
This song has complex tempo treatment that is best suited to experienced dancers or for show dance use.
This is a strict tempo piece. Too slow for competition.
