Sweet Weuweu - Dennis Kamakahi


Auhea wale `oe
E sweet weuweu
O ka pepe kika liki

I laila no `oe
E pua onaona
Me ka pu`olo li`ili`i

Hui:
E puhi ana au i ka pua pakalolo
Sweet weuweu o ka waokele
E hele ana au i ka uka `iu`iu
No ka sweet pakalolo onaona

Where are you,
O sweet grass
Of the cigarette paper?

There you are!
O fragrant blossom
In the small cellophane packet

Chorus:
I am smoking the pakalolo blossom
Sweet grass of the rain forest
I am going to the distant upland
For the sweet pakalolo onaona
