Kontiki [English translation]

(INTRO)

Kontiki Kontiki Kontiki Kontiki

(Thor Thor Heyerdahl, Thor Thor Heyerdahl)

men on the ocean, slow gentle motion

are adrift at sea

red from the sun and tossed by the breakers

roaming wild and free

and they can't get along with each other

and they're tired of the water around

they crave a sunday meal from their mother

but only squid and fish abound

(REF)

Kontiki, Kontiki, raft where will you go

Kontiki, Kontiki, supplies are running low

Kon-Kontiki, and there ain't no turning back

one day you will reach your goal

Kon-Kontiki, with the norsemen on your deck,

now you must toss and roll

Oh Kontiki, your are drifting in the stream

Oh Kontiki, your trip is longer than it may seem

men start to howel, throwing the towel

food taste stale and bland

but they are hoping, hoisting and roping

waiting to hit sand

and then it would be without question

they would have confirmed the tale

that five thousand years ago on a raft

some people had travelled this way

(REF)

Kon-Kontiki all your sailors dance around

hand is shaking hand

Kon-Kontiki after this long odyssey

finally you reach the sand

Kon-Kontiki all the papers tell of you

your daring is hard to beat

Kon-Kontiki and all those who laughed at you

can't believe what they now read

Oh Kontiki, you are drifting in the stream

Oh Kontiki, your tripping harder than it may seem
