[Intro] [Fade in] [spherical acoustic guitar] Intro: [A capella, soft singing] He malamalama kekahi, a ʻo wau kekahi. I kēia manawa wale nō kaʻu ʻike ka lepo i loko oʻu. Hoʻopau ka manawa - ma koʻu mea i noho ai. A ke ninau nei au ia'u iho: Ma laila anei au? Vers 1: [dark rhythmical singing, soft guitar in the background] Ke hele nei au i loko o nā aka aʻu i hana ai, he leo aniani, he leo pau ole. ʻO nā pā i loko oʻu - i kūkulu ʻia me ka hāmau, ʻaʻohe mea i ʻike i ke ʻano o koʻu ʻuhane i hina. Noho kaʻawale a me ke anu ka ʻike ma ke aniani, Ua mae ko'u inoa, ua paa ko'u hanu. He ahi au, he kani au, i kēia manawa he lehu wale nō wau, he mele ʻeleʻele wale nō. Chorus: [rhythmical, dark singing, soft acoustic guitar] He mamala wau, he lepo wau, he mele nalowale – ka mea i koe ia'u aia i ka makani e haʻalulu iaʻu. Ma waena o nā moeʻuhane a me ka lepo, ma waena o ka manaʻolana a me ka pōhaku - E ʻohi au i kaʻu mau ʻāpana i kekahi lā paha. Vers 2: [dark rhythmical singing, soft guitar in the background] Ke helu nei au i kaʻu mau hewa e like me nā ʻōpala i ka mālamalama, aka, poina i ko'u mau kumu—mai hoomanao mai ia'u. ʻO ka nui o ka ʻōlelo, ʻaʻa liʻiliʻi, ua hāmau ʻole a hāʻule. Leo nui nā nīnau, hāmau nā pane. he ola holookoa e puni ana ia lakou. Ua nalo wau iaʻu iho ma "Ma hope aku" a me "koke", a ke kū nei au i kēia manawa—hoʻokahi a me ke anu. Bridge: [soft singing, a capella, no instruments] ʻOi aku paha wau ma mua o ka mea i hāʻule. ʻO ka hoʻomaha paha ka pahuhopu o koʻu ola. Aia paha ke ola e hiki ke hanau hou, inā hiki iaʻu ke manaʻoʻiʻo hou iaʻu iho. Vers 3: [dark rhythmical singing, soft guitar in the background] Eli au ia'u iho me ka lima haalulu, makemake e ʻike inā he manaʻolana. ʻO kahi manaʻo nawaliwali e lele ana i loko oʻu - Ke ola nei au… a i ʻole ma ʻaneʻi wale nō? Chorus: [rhythmical, dark singing, soft acoustic guitar] He mamala wau, he lepo wau, he mele nalowale – ka mea i koe ia'u aia i ka makani e haʻalulu iaʻu. Ma waena o nā moeʻuhane a me ka lepo, ma waena o ka manaʻolana a me ka pōhaku - E ʻohi au i kaʻu mau ʻāpana i kekahi lā paha. Outro: [soft, dark singing, soft guitar in the background] He malamalama kekahi, a ʻo wau kekahi. I kēia manawa aia wau ma kahi ala paʻakikī. ʻAʻole pono, akā ʻaʻole pono. ʻAʻole paha wau i make, akā hoʻokahi wale nō... Chorus: [rhythmical, dark singing, soft acoustic guitar] He mamala wau, he lepo wau, he mele nalowale – ka mea i koe ia'u aia i ka makani e haʻalulu iaʻu. Ma waena o nā moeʻuhane a me ka lepo, ma waena o ka manaʻolana a me ka pōhaku - E ʻohi au i kaʻu mau ʻāpana i kekahi lā paha. Ending: [soft, dark singing, soft guitar in the background] He malamalama kekahi, a ʻo wau kekahi. I kēia manawa aia wau ma kahi ala paʻakikī. ʻAʻole pono, akā ʻaʻole pono. ʻAʻole paha wau i make, akā hoʻokahi wale nō... [Outro] [Fade out] [soft acoustic guitar fading out]
