E Ku`u Morning Dew - Words by Larry Kimura, Music by Eddie Kamae

 

E ku`u morning dew
Alia mai, alia mai
Maliu mai `oe
I ka`u e hea nei
E kali mai `oe
Ia`u nei, ia`u nei
`O wau iho no
Me ke aloha
 
Wehe mai ke alaula
`Oliliko nei lihau
E ho`ohehelo ana
I neia papalina
I uka o Mana
I ka `iu uhiwai
Ma laila no kaua
E pili mau ai
Ma laila no kaua
E pili mau ai

 

Eddie Kamae
My morning dew
Wait a moment
Pay attention
To what I call out
Wait
For me, for me
I remain yours
With love
 
Dawn breaks
And the wet dew sparkles
Causing a rosy color
On these cheeks
Up at Mana
In the mist-shrouded highland
There, you and I
Will remain forever
There, you and I
Will remain forever
