Pua Sadinia (Gardenia Blossom) - Words & music by David Nape
ʻAuhea wale ana ʻoe Kuʻu pua sadinia I pulu i ke kēhau O ke kakahiaka Hui: I will never forget you Gentle vow that you gave me A eia nō me au Kahi koni koni mai Noho aku au hoʻolono Ka owē nehe a ka wai Ahe waiwai nui ke aloha A loko e hana nei ʻO ka neʻe mai a ka noe Hāliʻi mai la i uka I hoʻopulu ʻia e ia la O kamalu he kuāwa	Where are you My gardenia Wet by the dew Of the morning Chorus: I will never forget you Gentle vow that you gave me Here it is within me Throbbing within I sit and listen quietly To the gentle murmur of the water Love is a great treasure That is held within me The mists move hither Spreading itself in the upland Wetting all before it In the cloud sheltered valley
