Translation – Your laughter is so contagious

It’s fun to be with you
Always a good time

Vibrating your body
Always a good time
For you and I

Eating beef stew
Always a good time
For you and I
4. To Waikiki we go
Swimming in the sea
Always a good time
For you and I

Eating seaweed
Always a good time
For you and I

It’s fun to be with you
Always a good time
For you and I (source)
