My home stands impressive in the calm Blossoming in the spray Lush with the fragrance of seaweed For the birds that delighted in the place Chorus: There in the calm of the Bayview Home The birds drink nectar of the lehua blossom Always dampened by the sea spray A greeting of affection that comes Pleasing in Kalaupapa in the calm In the appearance of lemon grass and buckthorn And to see the spreading smoke of the dawn With rich savors for the birds |
