There are so many girls
on this sunlit beach.
You pretend not to look at them
but that makes me tremble (shabodoowa, shabodoowa).
There are so many girls
who are no worse than me,
who circle and circle around you,
and I fear that they will nab your heart
(shabodoowa, shabodoowa, shabodoowa).
But if you love me,
why torture me?
Since you love me,
why complicate it all?
There are so many girls
who don't have the good fortune I have,
who would like to steal you from me, I know,
but I want to keep you (shabodoowa, shabodoowa).
Oh, yes, I want to keep you.
(There are so many girls
and only one boy like you.)
So I have dark dreams sometimes
when you are far away from me
(shabodoowa, shabodoowa, shabodoowa).
But if you love me,
why torture me?
Since you love me,
why complicate it all?
There are so many girls
on this sunlit beach.
Let's go, lead me like yesterday
far, far away over the sea (shabodoowa, shabodoowa)—
far, far away over the sea.
(There are so many girls). Oh yeah!
(There are so many girls). Uh uh!
(There are so many girls)...
