Paroles et traduction Israel Kamakawiwo'ole - Hi'ilawe

Hi'ilawe

Kamaka ka ikena ia Hi′ilawe
I ka papa lohi mai a'o Maukele
Pakele mai au i ka nui manu
Hauwala′au nei puni Waipi'o
A'ole no wau e loa′a mai
A he uhiwai au no ke kuahiwi
He hiwahiwa au no ka makua
A he lei ′a'i na ke kupuna
Na Puna ke ′ala i hali'ia mai
Noho i ka wailele a′o Hi'ilawe
Ha′ina 'ia mai ana ka puana
Kamaka ka 'ikena ia Hi′ilawe

Hi'ilawe

My beloved is the face of Hi′ilawe
On the misty brow above Maukele
I have escaped the many birds
That hover around Waipi'o
I am not to be found
For I am a mist upon the mountain
I am a gentle breeze for the parent
And a fragrant garland for the grandparent
The fragrance of Puna is wafted here
Dwelling in the waterfall spray of Hi'ilawe
The story is told
My beloved is the face of Hi′ilawe
