A famous land is Halawa The best that I know Land entrancing to visitors Praised by the public Fond memory wells up For water streaming over the cliffs The waterfall of Moa`ula Drenching with water droplets Chorus: Beauty that commands admiration With cliffs face to face Beloved home My birth sands Water leaping in spray on the cliffs Is your ornament Hâlawa (Moloka`i) famous land And you’re with me |
