Kîhei - Kai Davis


Kaulana mai nei i kou inoa la
Ka nani a`o kihei
Ka nani ho`okipa me ke aloha la
I ka olu a`o Kîhei

Eia au ke noho aku nei la
Ka nani a`o Kîhei
Ma Kîhei aku nei nô wau la
`Ike `ia a`o Waiakoa

Nânea i ka olu a`o ia kaha la
Ka nani a`o Kîhei
Ke kai nehe mai i ka `ae one la
Ka nani a`o Kîhei

Ha`ina ka puana me ke aloha la
Ka nani a`o Kîhei
Na kanaka a e lawai`a ana la
He i`a ke loa`a mai

Ha`ina ka puana me ke aloha la
Ka nani a`o Kîhei
Ka`ena a`e no wau o ka oi la
Ka nani a`o Kîhei

 

Your name is famous
The beauty of Kîhei
The loving and beautiful hospitality
In the comfort of Kîhei

Here I reside
In the beauty of Kîhei
I was just in Kîhei
Waiakoa is seen


Relaxing in the comfort of that place
The beauty of Kîhei
The ocean that nestles on the sandy beach
The beauty of Kîhei

Let it be told with love
The beauty of Kîhei
The people fishing
A fish caught

Let it be told with love
The beauty of Kîhei
I boast of
The beauty of Kîhei
