Lam   Mary Pukui	Let's you and I go for a walk On a clear moonlight night To gaze with interest At the stars in the sky A fragrance is wafted hither The perfume of the jasmine Brought here to us By a gentle breeze We will pause to listen To the ʻukulele's sweet refrain With a melody so cheery Uplifting the heart Let us turn to look inland As the brightness of the lights twinkle Like many stars Nestling on the hillside This ends my song Of a clear moonlight night To gaze with interest At the stars in the sky This ends my song Of a clear moonlight night We will pause to listen To the ʻukulele's sweet refrain
