Roselani - Words & music by W.J. Coelho
He hali`a i ku`u manawa
No welo i ka pu`uwai
Na ke ahe makani i `aha`i mai
A loa`a ho`i au ko aloha

Hui:
Lei `ohu `oe
Nani hiehie
Na`u e honi mau ko `ala onaona
Kûpaoa i ka uka `iu
Roselani ku`u lei `oe

Ko aloha nô ka`u e lei
Me maile lau li`i o uka
Nohea a ka `ôpua i ku`u maka
Roselani lei o ku`u ipo

 A yearning fills me within
Streaming through my heart
It was brought hither by a breeze
And so I was reached by your love

Chorus:
You are a lei to adorn me
A charming beauty is yours
I shall always smell the fragrance
That permeates the upland
Heavenly rose you are my lei

Your love I shall wear as a wreath
A lei of small leaved maile of the upland
Lovely is its appearance to my eyes
Heavenly rose lei of my beloved
