Aloha Oe

The song "Aloha Oe" is the only song that can put my baby to sleep.




Haaheo e ka ua i na pali






Proudly sweeps the rain cloud by the cliffs
Ke nihi ae la i kanaheleAs onward it glides thru the trees
E uhai ana paha i ka likoIt seems to be following the liko
Pua a hihi lehua o uThe a hihi lehua of the vale
Aloha oe, aloha oe, Aloha oe, farewell to thee,
E ke onaona noho i ka lipoThou charming one who dwells among the bowers
One fond embrace, a hoi ae auOne fond embrace, before I now depart
Until we meet again, until we meet again. Until we meet again, until we meet again
O ka halia aloha kai hihi maiThus sweet memories come back to me
Ke hone ae nei i kuu manawa.Bringing fresh remembrance of the past
O oe no ka'u ipo alohaDearest one, yes, thou art mine own
A loko e hana nei.From the true love shall ne'er depart
Maopopo kuu iki i ka nani,I have seen and watched the loveliness
Na pua rose o Maunawili,Thou sweet rose of Maunawili
Ilaila hiaai ai na manu,And 'tis there the birds oft love to dwell
Mikiala i ka nani o ka liko.And sip the honey from thy lips
