Ua Hiki No Me Au - Traditional


A heaha ka hana ka `ôpua
Ho`olai o ke ahiahi
E `i mai ana no ia`u la
Ka `i`ini pau `ole a ka pu`uwai

Hui:
Ua hiki no me au
Ke ala o ka vabine
E ake ana no `ike la
I ka nani o nâ pua

Ua `upu mai ka mana`o la
Ku`u hoa ho`oheno ahiahi
A he `ole ka maliu `ia mai la
Ua pulu i ka hunahuna kai

What does the cloud do
As it remains quiet in the evening
It seems to be telling me
Of an endless desire in the heart

Chorus:
It is all right with me
She enjoys the fragrance of the verbena
I am anxious to see
The beauty of the flowers

A thought comes
Of my sweet companion of the evening
But no attention is paid to me
She is drenched by the sea spray
