Ē Ku‘u Sweet Lei Poina‘ole / E Maliu Mai 7:21 (Emma De Fries / Irmgard Farden ‘Āluli)

These songs, E- Ku‘u Sweet Lei Poina‘ole (“My Sweet Unforgettable Lei”) and E Maliu Mai (“Hear My Call”), were among the first songs we played together. They immediately became our favorites and our most requested songs. These were defining moments for us, knowing that we were meant to be making music together.

E Ku‘u Sweet Lei Poina ‘Ole

 By: Emma De Fries

 

E ku‘u sweet lei poina ‘ole ea            

Lei nani i ka wēkiu                                         

A never fading bloom, iā ‘oe ea                                 

E ku‘u sweet lei, poina ‘ole                            

My sweet unforgettable lei  

The most beautiful of all

You are never fading 

My sweet unforgettable lei

 

Ku‘u pua, ku‘u lei nani mae ‘ole ea   

Ke ola lau loa e ku‘u lei                                 

Ke kali aku nei, iā ‘oe ea                                

E ho‘i mai kāua lā e pili                                  

My flower, my beautiful never fading lei

This lei is my life, my soul

I wait for you

My sweet unforgettable lei
