Ka Lae `O Ka`ena (The Point of Ka`ena) - Traditional
Ka lae `o Ka`ena
E hui ai käua
Kô aloha welawela
Kô aloha ia`u nei
Me `oe ho`i au e ho`oipo ai
Hoa pili o ka `äina malihini
 
 
 
Hui:
Eyes so blue, love so true
Pretty feet across the street
Her name is Nova
And I adore her
Her mother keeps a little candy store
 
 
 
`Auhea `oe ka`u e li`a nei
Nä hola pau i pili mau `ia
E ho`omana`o ana i kou leo nani
A pa`a mau nei i ku`u pu`uwai
 
At the point of Ka`ena
Let`s get together
Your warm love
Your love that I have now
With you I will make love
My companion of a foreign land
 
*Eddie Kamae
 
Where are you?
With whom I've been with all these past hours
I'm reminded of your beautiful voice
That found a place in my heart
