My Yellow Ginger Lei


by John Kaonohokala Keawehawaii


My yellow ginger lei
Reveals her scent through the day
Enchanting moments with you
Makes me love you


Ku`u lei `awapuhi melemele
I puia me ke `ala onaona
Ho`ohihi ka mana`o iā `oe
E ku`u lei awapuhi


You`re as lovely as can be
My yellow ginger lei
My heart is yearning for you
My `awapuhi


Ha`ina `ia mai
Ana ka puana
My yellow ginger lei
Makes me love you
