The 4th and Final verses:

The shade of the coconut grove is like family

Embracing me like the morning glory

Those who are gone become a thing of beauty

An everlasting adornment to hold dear.

The spray of the sea recounts the story

That perfumed murmur of the deep of night

The pathway lies before us that we must tread

Beckoning us ever forward.

[Choc576]

The 2nd and 3rd verses:

Beloved, beloved indeed

Beloved is the sweet remembrance

Beautiful, beautiful indeed

Beauty embodies that seaside home.

The mind wanders freely in the dark of night

Wakeful from the spirit-like voice of the sea

Precious images drift through my thoughts

Always bringing a sense of peace.

[Choc576]

While the music was adapted from Nada Sou Sou by Keali'i Reichel, the translated words are very different in meaning --- tells the beauty of Keali'i's grandmother's house by the sea. From the liner notes of Keali'i Reichel, Collection One, KAMAHIWA - The 1st verse:

The spray of the sea comes as a breath

Rustling the leaves of the ti plants

Like a perfumed whisper scenting the air

Ever calling to me.
