Famous indeed is the rain of Hanalei Sweeping along the cliffs To be joined with the laua`e fern Like a sweetheart cuddling in embrace The sea murmurs softly As though it were saying You and I should be together again Like the famous pouring rains of Hanalei |
Source: He Mele Aloha - Mele about the unity betweeen the rain pouring on the cliffs, clinging to the ferns and the ocean sounds at Hanalei on Kaua`i. Composed in the 1920’s. Translation from He Mele Aloha. Music Clip by Gippy Cooke |
