Lyrics:

Banua, banua, banua, a-o!
Banua, banua, baby I don't know

The sun comes up in the moring
And the moon comes out at night
But not for me, because you see
Of a kiss in the pale moonlight

Banua, banua, banua, a-o!
Banua, banua, baby I don't know

And you're a beautiful lady, firelight and guitar
Took my heart, we had to part
And now I cry

Banua, banua, banua, a-o!
Banua, banua, baby I don't know

I walked her home in the moonlight
A man appeared at her door
A flash of a knife and he took her life
And I'll cry forevermore

Banua, banua, banua, a-o!
Banua, banua, baby I don't know


I fought him there in the darkness
I killed him
And now I'm waiting in Banua
For them to set me free

Banua, banua, banua, a-o!
Banua, banua, baby I don't know

Banua, banua, banua, a-o!
Banua, banua, baby I don't know


Banua, banua, banua, a-o!
Banua, banua, baby I don't know
