PAU ‘OLE KA ‘I‘INI Paroles

‘Eha koni e ‘apo mai,
I ka uka nolupe
Waokele anuhea,
Pu i ke ‘ala aloha.

(Hui)
‘Alawa mai kou maka ‘ohila
‘O ‘oe no ku‘u aloha.

Ha‘ina ‘ia mai ana ka puana,
Puana pau ‘ole ka ‘i‘ini.

(Hui)



PAU ‘OLE KA ‘I‘INI (TRANSLATION)

You are my heart's desire,
This throbbing ache of love,
To embrace thee in the coolness
of the uplands.
In the forest that is misty and
drenched with fragrance.

(Chorus)
You shyly glance my way,
You are the one I love.

Tell the story,
Desire never ends.

(Chorus)
