Lyrics

Captain Bligh sailed by in 1789
Between Viti and Vanua Levu
Too blinded by his rage to see the beauty of those golden shores
Blinded by his rage to find a hangman’s noose in Dutch Timor
The Resolution sailed in 1791
From Tahiti on a westward wind
In search of Bounty mutineers the schooner master and his crew
Dropped anchor for a while at the enchanted isle of Matuku
And there they stayed and there they played
Woh Pacifica
The gentle heart yearns for thee
Woh Pacifica
Home is the sailor home from sea
The Isabella sailed in 1871
From Malaita and Guadalcanal
Forty-four kanakas came recruited as plantation hands
Their sweat and blood and tears would build the canfields of North Queensland
And to this day their children say
Woh Pacifica
The gentle heart yearns for thee
Woh Pacifica
Home is the sailor home from sea
Tusitala set his hopeless sail too late
Under a wide and starry sky
Robert Louis Stevenson relieved of all his worldly ills
Sailed into that good long night from high up in the Samoan Hills
And from his grave he tells his tales
Woh Pacifica
The gentle heart yearns for thee
Woh Pacifica
Home is the sailor home from sea
Woh Pacifica
The gentle heart yearns for thee
Woh Pacifica
Home is the sailor home from sea
