A Peaceful Hawaiian Song

Ka Nohona Pili Kai (海邊的家)- Words by Keali`i Reichel & Puakea Nogelmeier, Music - Begin (Teichiku Entertainment Inc.)

Pä hanu mai ka pua ehu o ke kai
E holu nape ana i ka lau kï
Me he leo `a`ala i mäpu mai
E
heahea mau nei

Aloha ë, aloha nö
Aloha ka häli`ali`a mau
He nani ë, he nani nö
He nani ka nohona pili kai
(He nani ka nohona, he nani io no
He nani kuuhone pili kai)

Lauele ka mana`o i ke aumoe
Hia`ä i ka `ulaleo o ke kai
Ka`iawe ka hä`upu aloha
E ho`omälie mau nei

He pilikana ka malu ulu niu
Hei mai ana me ka pöhuehue
A he wehi ho`i ko hi`ikua ë
E kähiko mau nei

Puana `ia no ke ehu o ke kai
Ia hanu `a`ala o ke aumoe
Moe a`e ke ala e `alo ai
E ho`olale mau nei

---[English]---

The spray of the sea comes as a breath
Rustling the leaves of the ti plants
Like a perfumed whisper scenting the air
Ever calling to me

Beloved, beloved indeed!
Beloved is the sweet remembrance
Beautiful, beautiful indeed!
Beauty embodies that seaside home

The mind wanders freely in the dark of night
Wakeful from the spirit-like voice of the sea
Precious images drift through my thoughts
Always bringing a sense of peace

The shade of the coconut grove is like family
Embracing me like the morning glory
Those who are gone become a thing of beauty
An everlasting adornment to hold dear

The spray of the sea recounts the story
That perfumed murmur of the deep of night
The pathway lies before us that we tread
Beckoning us ever forward

---[Japanese]---

「Ka Nohona Pili Kai (あの浜辺の家)」

しぶきを上げて 息づく波が
センネンボクの葉を鳴らせば
芳しい薫りを放ち 甘く囁くように
僕に呼びかける

愛しくて ただ愛しくて
愛しい日々の思い出は甘く
美しく ただ美しく
美しくたたずむ あの浜辺の家

夜の闇を 心は自由に彷徨い歩く
海から聞こえる 不思議な声に目覚めれば
大切な光景が 脳裏をよぎり
いつも穏やかな気持ちになれる

ココナッツの木陰は 家族と同じ
輝く朝の光のように 僕を包んでくれる
この世を去りし人々は 美しい思い出となり
いつまでも褪せることなく 輝いている

波しぶきが語る 物語
深い闇夜の あの芳しいさざめき
目の前にあるこの道を 歩こうじゃないか
こちらへおいでと 手招きしてる

About Me

我是在1996年12月29日受洗加入耶穌基督後期聖徒教會. 我在此留下我對這復興的福音的見證,我知道約瑟斯密確實是神的先知; 藉由約瑟斯密,神復興了耶穌基督的教會即耶穌基督後期聖徒教會; 摩爾門經是耶穌基督的另一部約書,與聖經共同見證耶穌是基督.而我們今日仍有一位活著的先知,多馬孟蓀會長 I joined the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints on December 29, 1996. I know that Joseph Smith was and is a prophet of God. The Book of Mormon is indeed Another Testament of Jesus Christ. We have a living prophet today, even President Thomas S. Monson.
