Lyrics to ENTIRE SONG (popularized version only uses the Chorus)
Ha`aheo ka ua i nâ pali
Ke nihi a`ela i ka nahele
E hahai (uhai) ana paha i ka liko
Pua `âhihi lehua o uka
Hui:
Aloha `oe, aloha `oe
E ke onaona noho i ka lipo
One fond embrace,
A ho`i a`e au
Until we meet again
`O ka hali`a aloha i hiki mai
Ke hone a`e nei i
Ku`u manawa
`O `oe nô ka`u ipo aloha
A loko e hana nei
Maopopo ku`u `ike i ka nani
Nâ pua rose o Maunawili
I laila hia`ia nâ manu
Miki`ala i ka nani o ka lipo
IN ENGLISH
- Proudly swept the rain by the cliffs
- As it glided through the trees
- Still following ever the bud
- The `ahihi lehua of the vale
- Chorus:
- Farewell to you, farewell to you
- The charming one who dwells in the shaded bowers
- One fond embrace,
- 'Ere I depart
- Until we meet again
Sweet memories come back to me - Bringing fresh remembrances
- Of the past
- Dearest one, yes, you are mine own
- From you, true love shall never depart
I have seen and watched your loveliness - The sweet rose of Maunawili
- And 'tis there the birds of love dwell
- And sip the honey from your lips
