[School]
Blue, blue water,
Sea without a track,
Without end or border.
Blue, blue water,
Where are you hurrying?
To the blue sea
Where there are strong waves,
Splashing all the time.
To the blue sea
Hurry up and carry me,
Blue water!
Blue, blue water,
Herds of clouds
Are floating by
Blue, blue water
Where are you hurrying?
Willows are bowing,
Bowing low, down to the waist,
And sings not too loudly
The song of the wind.
To the blue sea
Hurry up and carry me,
Blue water!
Chunga-Changa! Blue dome of the sky!
Chunga-Changa! Summer all year round!
Chunga-Changa! Happily we live!
Chunga-Changa! Singing this small song!
Wonder-island, wonder-island, Life on it's easy and simple,
Chunga-Changa!
Here, our happiness is constant - Munch coconuts, eat bananas,
Chunga-Changa!
Chunga-Changa, there's no better place,
Chunga-Changa, grief shows not its face,
Chunga-Changa, live here just an hour,
Chunga-Changa, and you'll stay forever.
Wonder-island, wonder-island, Life on it's easy and simple,
Chunga-Changa!
Here, our happiness is constant - Munch coconuts, eat bananas,
Chunga-Changa!
Wonder-island, wonder-island, Life on it's easy and simple,
Chunga-Changa!
Here, our happiness is constant - Munch coconuts, eat bananas,
Chunga-Changa!
La-la-la-la-la! ..
