Pôki`i (Little Relative) - Frank Judd

Click Title to Access Melody

She is my little poki`i
Because she is so sweet
And every time I look at her
My heart just skips a beat
`Auhea ku`u pôki`i auwê, ku`u wahine u`i e
`Auhea ku`u pôki`i auwê, ku`u wahine u`i e

Her hair is brown, her cheeks are red,
Her eyes are brilliant blue
She has some freckles on her nose,
But they just thrill me, too
`Auhea ku`u poki`i auwê, ku`u wahine u`i e
`Auhea ku`u poki`i auwê, ku`u wahine u`i e

So how many things I used to think
That I’d like to do
But now I like them twice as much
Because she likes them too
`Auhea ku`u poki`i auwê, ku`u wahine u`i e
`Auhea ku`u poki`i auwê, ku`u wahine u`i e

Such as moonlight, pikake leis,
Ka lani lua and lazy days
Music from soft guitars,
Hawaiian melodies beneath the stars

But soon my little poki`i
From Hawai`i nei must go
I hope some time she’ll think of me
For I’ll miss her so
`Auhea ku`u poki`i auwê, ku`u wahine u`i e
`Auhea ku`u poki`i auwê, ku`u wahine u`i e




She is my little relative



Where is my little sister, alas, my pretty woman
Listen my little sister, oh dear, my pretty woman





Where is my little sister, alas, my pretty woman
Listen my little sister, oh dear, my pretty woman





Where is my little sister, alas, my pretty woman
Listen my little sister, oh dear, my pretty woman










Where is my little sister, alas, my pretty woman
Listen my little sister, oh dear, my pretty woman
