PAU ‘OLE KA ‘I‘INI Letra

He pa‘uhia aloha.
La ‘i ‘ole ka ‘ano‘i,
He ‘ano ‘i e pili.

‘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,
Desire I am overwhelmed with.
This passion will never calm,
Till you are loved within
these arms.

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)
