Pili Me Ka'u Manu Lyrics & Tabs by Israel Kamakawiwo'ole
Pili Me Ka'u Manu
guitar chords lyrics
A plover eating at the edge of the sea!
What is it saying to me?
It keeps bobbing its head.
To do what would you counsel?
Why, eat its plump body!
Whence comes this sweet morsel?
From the land of Tahiti.
When our sovereign appears,
Hawai'i gathers for play.
Stumble blocks cleared from the way,
Fit rule of the King's highway.
Let each one embrace then his love;
For me, I'll keep to my dove.
Hark now, the signal for bed!
Attentive then to loves tread,
For me, I'll keep to my dove.
Hark now, the signal for bed!
Attentive then to loves tread,
While a wee bird sings I the soul.
My love comes heat-whole.
Then quaff the waters of bliss.
Say, what is the key to all this?
The plover eggs laid in Tahiti.
Your love. When it comes, finds me.
