"One Particular Harbour"[1] is a song performed by American popular music singer-songwriter Jimmy Buffett. It was written by Jimmy Buffett and Hawaiian-born Tahitian musician Bobby Holcomb and released as a single (b/w "Distantly In Love") on MCA 52298 in October 1983.

It was first released on his 1983 album One Particular Harbour and reached #22 on the Billboard Adult Contemporary chart.

The song begins with lyrics in Tahitian:

Ia ora te natura
E mea arofa teie ao nei

The translation given is "Nature lives (life to nature), Have pity for the Earth, (Love the Earth)"

It concludes with the same verse plus:

Ua pau te maitai no te fenua
Re zai noa ra te ora o te mitie

Translated as: "Bounty of the land is exhausted, But there's still abundance on the sea."

"One Particular Harbour" is one of Buffett's more popular songs with fans, and is played at almost all of his concerts. Recorded live versions of the song appear on Feeding Frenzy, Buffett Live: Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays, and the video Live by the Bay. Two recordings are included on the 2007 release Live in Anguilla: once in full concert mode at the Dune Preserve beach bar and another the day before in an inpromptu "unplugged" concert on the beach.

It is often performed with extensive steel drum played by the Coral Reefer Band's pannist Robert Greenidge.
