You and I ascending The verdent Pauoa valley In the pouring mountain rain Drenching the skin in the cold Delighted when you smell The sweet scented ginger So fragrant in the soft breeze Adorning the trail Entranced when you see The beautifuk, delicate maidenhair Fragrant are the other ferns Growing profusely with the `ie`ie I love you My precious lei of liko lehua Come here in my arms For me to gently caress Here is the refrain For ther verdant Pauoa valley My thoughts cherish Its unforgettable beauty |
