Punaiki - Traditional

 
He aloha ia mai nei `oe, `eâ
I ka `ehu kai a`o Punaiki`eâ
 
 
He pine `ônou o kou aloha `eâ
I ka lâ le`ale`a o ke kino `eâ
 
 
Ha`ina `ia mai ka puana `eâ
I ka ehu kai a`o Punaiki`eâ
 
 
Ha`ina `ia mai ka puana `eâ
I ka lâ le`ale`a o ke kino `eâ

 

My love is for you
Who is like the sea spray of Punaiki
 
 
Your love is a pin pricking me
In the younger days of my life
 
 
The story is told
The sea spray of Punaiki
 
 
The story is told
In the younger days of my life
