---

Fine little girl she waits for me,
(There's a lovely girl, back at home)
Me catch the ship for cross the sea
(and I was forced to go on this long, God-forsaken journey)
Me sail the ship all alone
(The endless, desolate sea is surrounding me)
Me never think me make it home
(Each moment away is an eternity for me)

Louie, Louie, me gotta go
Louie, Louie, me gotta go
(I miss you, my dear ...
... I miss you, my love)

Three nights and days me sail the sea
(Four Thousand Three Hundred and Twenty Minutes on the lonely sea)
Me think of girl constantly
(Two Hundred and Fifty-Nine Thousand and two Hundred seconds away from thee)
On the ship I dream she there
(I dream of you, tho' so far away)
I smell the rose in her hair
(I smell you, tho' you're not there)

Louie, Louie, me gotta go
Louie, Louie, me gotta go
(I'm getting delirious.
... I miss your soft touch)

Me see Jamaica moon above
(Jamaica Moon, you saw me standing alone
Without a dream in my heart
Without a love of my own)

It won't be long, me see my love,
(...you know just what I was there for
You heard me saying a prayer for
Someone I really could care for)

I take her in my arms and then
(And then there suddenly appeared before me
The only one my arms will hold ..)

Me tell her I never leave again
(Now I’m no longer alone)

Louie, Louie, me gotta go
Louie, Louie, me gotta go
(I'm getting delirious.
... I miss you, my love)
