Kauʻionalani - Words & music by David Chung
 

Kauʻionalani
Aloha wau iā ʻoe
Kou maka palupalu
He uʻi mae ole nou

Kou leo nahenahe
Ua lohe ʻia kou mele
Paʻa ʻia i ka makani
Mai lohelohe mai ʻoe

Haʻina ʻia mai
Ana ka puana
Kauʻionalani
He uʻi mae ʻole nou


David Chung

 

Kauʻionalani
I love you
Your gentle eyes
Your unforgettable beauty

Your soft voice
Listen to your song
Voice within the wind
Your soft tenderness

Tell
The refrain
Kauʻionalani
Your beauty is unforgettable
