Lyrics Ulili E - Israel Kamakawiwo'ole

Ulili E

Ulili ë
(Ahahana 'ulili ehehene 'ulili ahahana)
'Ulili ho’i
(Ehehene 'ulili ahahana 'ulili ehehene)
'Ulili holoholo kahakai ë
O ia kai ua lana mälie
The sandpiper
The sandpiper returns
Sandpiper runs along the beach
Where the sea is peaceful and calm
Hone ana ko leo e 'ulili ë
O kahi manu noho 'ae kai
Kia’i ma ka lae a’o kekaha
'O ia kai ua lana mälie
The voice of the sandpiper is soft and sweet
Little bird who lives by the sea
Ever watchful on the beaches
Where the sea is calm
Hone ana ko leo kölea ë
Pehea 'o Kahiki?
Maika’i nö
'O ia 'äina 'uluwehiwehi
I hui pü 'ia me ke onaona
The voice of the 'ulili is soft and sweet
How are you, stranger?
Very well
You grace our land
Where the sea is always calm
