Ginger
You appear, oh Rina `Awapuhi
Your name that I cherish
Interwoven with the Mälualua wind
Your name is a flawless, fragrant blossom
Pretty blossom
Your velvety, reddish head of hair
Loved by the multitudes
Your bright eyes that shine
They sparkle like diamonds
Unfading
And wear your lei
That you are famous for, Rina `Awaphui
A beautiful, fragrant blossom that wafts
The unforgettable warm love
Ginger
Let the refrain be told
Your name that I cherish
A blossom that won’t be wilted by the sun
Respond,
Oh Rina `Awapuhi
Ginger, indeed, ginger, respond |
