Hi‘ipoi - track 10. E Pili Mai
Track 10. E Pili Mai 3:09 (words by Larry Lindsey Kimura, music by Peter Moon)
Paula learned the hui (refrain) of this unique, retro version in a dream after hearing Cyril Pahinui perform the song at the Kanikapila Grill in Waikīkī. (Cyril graciously gave us permission to record it, but he requests that the hui only be performed by Pūlama.)
E Pili Mai (Come To Me)
Words by Larry Lindsey Kimura, Music by Peter Moon
`Auhea wale ana `oe Where are you
Ku`u lei o ka pō My sweetheart of the night
Pō anu ho`okahi nō wau The night is cold and I am alone
Sweetheart mine Sweetheart mine
E pili mai Come to me
Inā `o `oe a `o wau If you and I are together
`Ike i ke ahi o Makana We'll know the fires of Makana
He makana `ia na ke aloha It would be a gift given of love
No nā kau a kau For all time
`O `oe a`o wau You and I
Sweetheart mine Sweetheart mine
E pili mai Come to me
