Sweet Violet - Eliza Doiron

Auhea la o ano`i hoa pili `o moonlight
Hoa alo ehuehu o ka po mahina la`i
Ua la`i ka helena a`ohe auau kai
Ua ma`a i ka uli ke steer pololei

Hui:
Ho`ohihi ka mana`o ia sweet Violet
Pua ala hu`ihu`i o ke anu ahiahi
Ahi wela ke aloha e lalawe nei i ku`u kino
Ku`u kino ke alo nei i ke aloha o kâua

Ua la`i no ho`i `oe e ka ua lani pili
Pili `ia e mâua kaua me ke koekoe
I mehana ho`i au i ko leo eke hoa
Ku`u hoa o ka`anoi o ke kulu aumoe

Where are you, my moonlight companion
My love, I wait beneath the moon
Hurry, come swiftly here
Steer thy course to land dear

Chorus:
That sweet violet entrances my mind
Sweet flower cool in the evening time
Hot fire of love thrills my being
My being that shares the experience of our love

Come that we may repose in bliss
Together, we can remain as one
I will warm you, love
My companion, my desire, night has come
