OH WHEN I HERE THE STRAINS OF THAT SWEET ALEKOKI

AND STEALING FROM A FAR-OFF GUITAR “PENEI NO”

WHEN LILI’U E MAKES ME SWAY IN THE MOONLIGHT

I KNOW THE REASON WHY FAIR HAWAI’I HAUNTS ME SO. vamp

THE LOVELY BLUE OF SKY AND THE SAPPHIRE OF OCEAN

THE FLASHING WHITE OF CLOUDS AND THE WAVES FOAMING CREST

THE MANY SHADES OF GREEN FROM THE PLAINS TO THE MOUNTAINS

WITH ALL THE BRIGHTEST HUES OF THE RAINBOW WE'RE BLESSED. vamp

I HEAR THE SWISH OF RAIN AS IT SWEEPS DOWN THE VALLEYS

I HEAR THE SONG OF WIND AS IT SIGHS THROUGH THE TREES

I HEAR THE CRASH OF WAVES ON THE ROCKS AND THE BEACHES

I HEAR THE HISSING SURF AND THE BOOM OF THE SEA. vamp

I LOVE TO DANCE AND SING OF THE CHARMS OF HAWAI’I

AND FROM A JOYFUL HEART SING ALOHA TO YOU

IN EVERY NOTE I’LL TELL OF THE SPELL OF MY ISLANDS

FOR THEN I’LL KNOW THAT YOU’LL BE IN LOVE WITH THEM TOO. vamp
