He U`i Maoli No - Vicki I`I Rodrigues


Hui:
He u`i, he u`i maoli no
Na hi`ona ho`omâhie
Na wai e `ole kou ho`ohi`e
No ka u`i maoli no

Aia i ka nu`a, kahu `o Lehua
Ke ku`u mea ia maila e kâua
Ahe u`i a he nani me ka hiehie
Kou kohu maoli no


Chorus:
beauty, a beauty, a true beauty
By your appearance, I am delighted
By whom would you not be attracted to
By the true beauty

In the crowd lead by Lehua
Us two must adjourn
A beauty, a splendor with elegance
You're truly attractive
