Lyrics

Proudly swept the rain by the cliffs As it glided through the trees Still following ever the bud The 'ahihi lehua of the vale Chorus: Farewell to you, farewell to you The charming one who dwells in the shaded bowers One fond embrace 'Ere I depart Until we meet again Sweet memories come back to me Bringing fresh remembrances Of the past Dearest one, yes, you are mine own From you, true love shall never depart I have seen and watched your loveliness The sweet rose of Maunawili And 'tis there the birds of love dwell And sip the honey from your lips
