Words and Music by Liliuokalani

VERSE 1

        G         C                 G 
Proudly swept the rain cloud by the cliff,

   D7 
As on it glided through the trees,

      G     C                  G 
Still following with grief the liko,

    C    D7           G 
The ahihilenua of the vale.

    C                 G 
Farewell to thee, farewell to thee,

     D7                                G 
Thou charming one who dwells among the bowers,

    C              G 
One fond embrace before I now depart 

  D7           G 
Until we meet again. 

  
VERSE 2

           G   C                 G 
Thus sweet memories come back to me,

     D7 
Bringing fresh remembrance of the past,

        G        C             G 
Dearest one, yes thou art mine own,

     C              D7            G 
From thee true love shall never depart.

    C                 G 
Farewell to thee, farewell to thee,

     D7                                G 
Thou charming one who dwells among the bowers,

    C              G 
One fond embrace before I now depart 

  D7           G 
Until we meet again. 

  
VERSE 3

       G        C                 G 
I have seen and watched thy loveliness,

D7 
Thou sweet rose of Maunawili,

         G         C                 G 
And 'tis there the birds oft love to dwell,

    C       D7             G 
And sip the honey from thy lips.

    C                 G 
Farewell to thee, farewell to thee,

     D7                                G 
Thou charming one who dwells among the bowers,

    C              G 
One fond embrace before I now depart 

  D7           G 
Until we meet again.
