[Andy Barlo]

Alex, I don't know if you want the Hawaiian or English lyrics so I gave you both.

'Auhea wale 'oe e ka ua
Ke nihi a'e nei i na pali
Ka helena o ia pua i 'ako 'ia
Ke popohe mai nei ia uka

Ia uka ho'i a'u e walea ai
Ke 'ala onaona o ku'u pua
He pua 'oe na'u e lei mau ai
Ke 'ala ku'u pua lilia.

Where could you be, oh rain
Moving softly over the cliffs
The appearence of this flower which was chosen
Blossoming forth in the highlands

Those lofty heights where I enjoyed
The sweet perfume of my sweet bloom
You are a flower to always wear as my lei
The sweer scent of my lily blossom.

Enjoy, Andy

Sorry for the typo but the last line should read;

"The sweet scent of my lily blossom" instead of
"The sweer scent of my lily blossom" Andy
