Nani Lawa‘i - Na Palapalai

Nani Lawa‘i Lyrics

Kaua i ka nani a`o Lawa`i
I ka hone a ke kai i ka pu'e'one
O ka noe mai a ka ua li`ili`i
Ka pipi'o mai a ke anuenue
O ke kani hone a ka leo a ka manu
Honehone lua i ka pili o ke ao
Noho mai Alekana me ka `olu`olu
Pu'uwai hamama me ke aloha
Ha`ina `ia mai ana ka puana
A he nani Lawa`i i ka`u ike
You and I shall see the beauty of Lawa`i
Where the sea whispers to the sand dunes

The light showers come with the mist
And the rainbow arches on high
The voices of the birds are ever sweet
Sweetest of all at the break of day
There Alexander lives in comfort
A kindly, gracious person is he
This is the end of my song
Of Lawa'i, beautiful to see
