Farewell to Thee ( English Lyrics for Aloha Oe )

joyfullynoisy.org - Gene and Jennifer remember their visit to the Hawaiian Islands with their own rendition of Aloha Oe. Our lyrics inspired by Queen Lili’uokalani's original English translation. The story line of the hula dance is not aligned with the English lyrics.

Gene's lyrics:
When the rainfall lulls, a rainbow lights the way,
God's promise of a better brighter day
He brought us along in joyous gathering
Now we must part "Aloha Oe" with love we sing
Farewell to thee, Farewell to thee,
Though we're parting now tomorrow we will be
In God's fond embrace, of amazing grace,
Until we meet again.
Our sweet memories, forever they will be
Cherished moments, we'll keep eternally
We shared the blessing of our friendship from the start
when together we first met, though now we part
Farewell to thee, Farewell to thee,
Though-we're-parting now, tomorrow we will be
In God's fond embrace, of amazing grace,
Until we meet again.
(Optional 3rd verse)
Reminiscing time we shared each wondrous day
In-friendship sweeter than a fragrant orchid lei
Softly whispering, the gentle breezes sing
Melodies of memories our years will bring
Farewell to thee, Farewell to thee,
Though-we're-parting now, tomorrow we will be
In God's fond embrace, of amazing grace,
Until we meet again.
Farewell to thee, Farewell to thee,
Though-we're-parting now, tomorrow we will be
In God's fond embrace, of amazing grace,
Until we meet again.
