Noho Paipai (Rocking Chair) - Traditional
Pupue iho au i mehana Hone ana o uese i ku`u poli     Me he ala nô e `ï mai ana `Auhea ku`u lei rose lani?     Malihini `oe, malihini au Ma ka ihu käua kama`äina     Inä `o you me a`u Kau pono i ka noho paipai     Ha`ina `ia mai ka puana Hone ana o uese i ku`u poli	I crouched down to keep The thought of my sweetie pressed to my bosom     She seemed to be saying to me Where is my wreath of red roses?     You are a stranger, I am a stranger too But when we kiss each other, we are friends     If you were here with me We would rock together on a rocking chair     This is the end of my song A dream of my sweetie pressed to my bosom
