On the Shore at Le Lei Wi
[Verse]
- On the shore at Le Lei Wi,
- To the music of the sea,
- Sang a man whose heart beat fast,
- A love like mine will last.
[Refrain]
- Till the stars shining in their distant places,
- Far above the sea,
- Miss the sunlit wave that races,
- Down the shore at Le Lei Wi.
[Verse]
- On the shore at Le Lei Wi,
- Stands a maiden fair to see,
- By her side a native son,
- So close they seem like one.
[Refrain]
- And the stars shining in their distant places,
- Far above the sea,
- Saw them kiss each other's faces,
- On the shore at Le Lei Wi.
[Verse]
- On the shore at Le Lei Wi,
- If you go there you will see,
- He's still waiting day by day,
- But she has flown away.
[Refrain]
- And the stars shining in their distant places,
- Far above the sea,
- Know a hundred just such cases,
- On the shore at Le Lei Wi.
[Verse]
- On the shore at Le Lei Wi,
- Lovers play their comedy,
- Some depart but others come,
- And only one tune hum.
[Refrain]
- While the stars shining in their distant places,
- Far above the sea,
- Watch the old lies light new faces,
- On the shore at Le Lei Wi.
