Aloha kakou,
I was wondering if anyone has the lyrics to the song "Wahine U'i." I can't find them online anywhere.
Mahalo,

This song is in the "blue" King Book [King's Book of Hawaiian Melodies] on page 110 in the Key of G Major in 2/4 time. Written by Jame Kahale.
Chord Progression:
G/G/G7/C/C/C/A7/A7
A7/A7/D7/D7/D7/D7/G/G
D7/D7/G/G (turnaround)
.
Old Notation for Chord Progression :
1G/1G/2C/1C/1C/1C/2D/2D
2D/2D/2G/2G/2G/2G/1G/1G
2G/2G/1G/1G (turnaround)
Au/hea/ wale/ oe/ ka wa/hine/ u'/i/ (Oh come to me my own beloved)
Ka/ mea i/ like/ aku/ me ka/ ma/hi/na. (Thy beauty is ever like the lovely moonlight.)
(4 bar turnaround)
He u'i no op i ka'u ike (Your love is wafted by the gentle zephyrs)
He u'i mae wale nae i ka la. (To your lover who is waiting and longing for thee.)
Aia ko puni e kuu aloha
Ka poke oio lomilomi i'a.
Ahea la oe hoihoi mai
E ka mea i like aku me ka mahina.
Haina ia mai ana kapuana
He u'i no oe la i ka'u ike.
My favorite instrumental version is by Gabby Pahinui and Atta Isaacs on the 1996 re-release of the "Two Slack Key Guitars" CD, track 2.  My favorite vocal is Bruddah Smitty in his "Only You" CD, track 2. |
E nana, e ho'olohe. E pa'a ka waha, e hana ka lima. |

I thought it starts out: Au hea, au hea wale oe; i ka pua, i ka pua lokelani; etc. The one I am familiar with speaks about the flowers(watch out for kaona here) of the different islands, o ka pua ka `ilima; o ka pua mokihana and so on.
Must be different mele, same title? |
Me ke aloha
Malama pono,

'Ae. Haha, I thought there was going to be some confusion from some members! Yes, I was referring to the slow one, the one that was just posted here. Mahalo.
