Lyrics - Hawaiian
(Hawaiian folk song)
Nani wale na hala, ea ea
O naue i ke kai, ea, ea
Ke oni ha ela, ea, ea
Pili mai haena, ea, ea
Ena aku na maka, ea, ea
Ona manu i ka pua, ea, ea
Nani wale kanahele, ea, ea
I pu ia ike ala, ea, ea
O kalele onalani, ea, ea.
Haina ka, inoa, ea, ea
English Translation - It's Just Beautiful
1. So beautiful are the hala trees
Of Naue by the sea
2. Moving there
Close to Ha‘ena
3. Shy glowing are the eyes
Of the birds on the flower
4. The forest is so beautiful
Drenched with fragrance
5. See the lehua
So neatly formed and dainty there
