lyrics

Noho Paipai (Rocking Chair) -


Pupue iho au i mehana
Hone ana o uese i kuʻu poli

Me he ala nō e ʻī mai ana
ʻAuhea kuʻu lei rose lani?

Malihini ʻoe, malihini au
Ma ka ihu kāua kamaʻāina

Inā ʻo you me aʻu
Kau pono i ka noho paipai

Haʻina ʻia mai ka puana
Hone ana o uese i kuʻu poli
I crouched down to keep
The thought of my sweetie pressed to my bosom

She seemed to be saying to me
Where is my wreath of red roses?

You are a stranger, I am a stranger too
But when we kiss each other, we are friends

If you were here with me
We would rock together on a rocking chair

This is the end of my song
A dream of my sweetie pressed to my bosom
