"Lihu'e", A song for Kaua'i

Here is a song about Lihu'e, the biggest town on Kaua'i. This song was shared with me by my good Youtube friend, Robert.

"Lihu'e"

Aloha `ia no a`o Lihu`e
I ka ne`e mai a ka ua Paupili




Ua pili no au me ku`u aloha
Me ke kai nehe mai a`o Niumalu




Ua malu ko kino na`u ho`okahi
Na ka nani pua rose a`o Hauola




Ua ola no au me ku`u aloha
A kau i ka pua o ka lanakila




Kilakila Ha`upu a`e ku nei
Kahiko i ka maka a`o ka opua




A he pua lei momi na ku`u aloha
Ua sila pa`a ia i ka pu`uwai




A he waiwai nui na`u ko aloha
Kaulana no ka `aina malihini




Hea aku no wau o mai `oe
Na ka pua lei momi poina `ole



Beloved is Lihu`e
In the moving of the Paupili rain




I am close with my love
By the murmuring sea at Niumalu




Your body is reserved for me alone
By the beautiful rose blossom of Hauola




My very life is my love
Worn as the flower of victory




Majestic is Ha`upu standing there
Adorned in the mist of the clouds




A lei of pearls from my love
Was sealed in my heart




Great riches is your love to me
Famous indeed the new land




I call, you answer
For the unforgettable person, precious as a rare shell lei
