Chakimo fina a na nae Chakimo fina nae. Start my truck, let's all jump in Here we go together. Nice cool breeze and big palm trees I'll_tell_ya life don't get no better. Talkin_bout hey_now, hey_now, Iko, iko a nae. Chakimo fina a na nae Chakimo fina nae. A keia mama gwelé, step on the dancin' floor.

My bestie and your bestie Dancin´ by the fire. Your bestie says_she_want party So_can_we make these flames go higher. Talkin_bout hey_now, hey_now, Iko, iko a nae.

My bestie and your bestie Dancin´ by the fire. Your bestie says she_want party So_can_we make these flames go higher. Talkin_bout hey_now, hey_now, Iko, iko a nae. Chakimo fina a na nae Chakimo fina nae. Chakimo fina nae. Chakimo fina nae. Chakimo fina nae.    

Cette chanson évoque une ambiance joyeuse et festive, où deux groupes d'amis se retrouvent autour d'un feu pour célébrer ensemble. L'un des amis exprime son envie de faire la fête, et tous décident d'augmenter l'énergie de la soirée, en partageant des moments de danse et de rires. Les visions d'une belle soirée à la plage, avec des palmiers et une brise agréable, se mêlent à des sons entraînants et colorés typiques des îles. Le contexte est celui d'une fête insouciante, où la danse et la convivialité sont à l'honneur. Les paroles invitent à se laisser aller, à bouger, et à profiter de ces instants précieux entre amis, dans une atmosphère décontractée et joyeuse. C'est une célébration de l'amitié et des bons moments partagés.
