Proudly the rain on the cliffs Creeps into the forest Seeking the buds And miniature lehua flowers of the uplands. Chorus: Farewell to thee, farewell to thee O fragrance in the blue depths. One fond embrace and I leave To meet again. Sweet memories come Sound softly in my heart. You are my beloved sweetheart Felt within. I understand the beauty Of rose blossoms at Mauna-wili. There the birds delight To the beauty of this flower. |
