Kawaikapu (SacredWater) - Kai Davis

 
Aloha kahi wai
O Kawaikapu
Ka luna wale a o la
Ka ihi kapu
 
 
Kapu kapu na maka
A o ka opua
Anapa i ke one la
A o kainalu
 
 
Ho`okahi ou hoa
Ae like ai
Ka`anoi o ka la
Kau keha keha
 
 
Ha`ina `ia mai
Ana ka puana
Anapa ike one la
A o Kainalu
The loving waters
Of Kawaikapu
With water so pure and beautiful
Flows down on sands of majestic shores
 
 
The flowers are respected
For its appearance
On majestic shores and shiny sands
Of Kainalu
 
 
You are the only one
That I love and adore
With its desire of the sun
That shines so proudly with pride
 
 
Thus ends my song of Kawaikapu
That ripples and sparkles
On the sand of a place
Called Kainalu
