Kawehionâlani - Haunani Kahalewai

 

Kawehionâlani
You are caressed by dreams of love

He u`i o ka `âina,
Heaven has blessed you from above

Hui:
Let's you and I
Go dancing, tonight
Romancing in the moonlight,
'Til the end of time


I love you, my Kawehionâlani,
My island dream



Haunani Kahalewai
