Li`a I Ke Aloha (Thinking
of Thee) - Martha Maui |
|
E aloha aʻe ana no au I ka nani o ka pua poʻina ʻole I puia ke ʻala onaona E ʻuhene nei i ka poli Me ʻoe ke aloha pau ʻole A kuʻu puʻuwai e liʻa nei He moani ʻaʻala huʻihuʻi Ke aloha o kāua Hui: Liʻa wau liʻa i ke aloha Ka hikina ana mai ioʻu nei Me ʻoe aku no ia ʻupu e Ke aloha e pili kāua |
I am thinking as I am gazing At those ever remembered flowers Imbued with sweet fragrance On your bosom gently raising How I love thee without ceasing Each heartbeat is a thought of thee Mild our love is, soft and pleasing Mine for thee and thine for me Chorus: Thinking I am thinking of love dear And as I think, I long for thee Long that beside me you were near Come my lover, come with me |
