Kanji

 

南の島の大王(だいおう)は
その名も偉大(いだい)なハメハメハ
ロマンチックな王様で
風のすべてが彼の歌
星のすべてが彼の夢

ハメハメハ ハメハメハ
ハメハメハメハメハ

南の島の大王は
女王の名前もハメハメハ
とてもやさしい奥さんで
朝日の後で起きてきて
夕日の前に寝てしまう

ハメハメハ ハメハメハ
ハメハメハメハメハ

南の島の大王は
子どもの名前もハメハメハ
学校ぎらいの子どもらで
風がふいたら遅刻(ちこく)して
雨がふったらお休みで

ハメハメハ ハメハメハ
ハメハメハメハメハ

南の島に住む人は
誰でも名前がハメハメハ
おぼえやすいがややこしい
会う人会う人ハメハメハ
誰でも誰でもハメハメハ

ハメハメハ ハメハメハ
ハメハメハメハメハ

The king is a bit of a romantic
The wind is his song
and the stars are his dreams
