Always loved this song, but never got around to trying to work up a chord melody. Also not an easy song to sing, so kind of avoided it. Got inspiration from a Kimo Hussy workshop and decided what the heck...

The first part of the video is an instrumental followed by singing.


I laila i nā pali ʻike ai
There on the cliffs can be seen

Ka wailele ʻo Nuʻuanu
The waterfall of Nu`uanu

E hoʻokahe pau ʻole
It never stops flowing

He wai nō ia e iho ai
It just keeps coming down

E ka'aka'a kou maka e ʻike ai
The waterfall is flowing

Ke kahe nei ka wailele pahihi
It keeps on flowing

ʻOle mai nō
Never locked

He kahe mau nō ia
It flows forever
