Magnificent is Waiehu in the heavy mist The buds of lehua stand proud The slow driving movement of the stinging rain Reminds me of my beloved in some ways For the first time I know The pain of love Tell the refrain Magnificent is Waiehu in the heavy mist |
| Source: G. Cooke collection - Hô`eha`ili is the rain of Waiehu, Maui. This mele is an example of the old Hawaiian tradition that uses the same melody with different lyrics. The melody is the same one used for Pauoa Ka Liko Ka Lehua. Translated by Kaiu Kanoa. Music Clip by Gippy Cooke | |
