Pigeon Feeding Time
Feeding the pigeons out in the sun
Wandering about Taufa street
Just flirting 'round the road
And cooing o'er the small thatches
Your rebellious soul contained,
Yes, even the pretense of a silver string.
Chorus:
Wearing my fahina1lei
The sweet fragrance, bathed in still, emerald hues
Your procession through the corners of the sky
When the flower withers
The siale5will begin to bud
The pipitongi6lurking 'neath the shrubs
Oh, its sweet scent
The nusi7and heilala
The perfume of someone who happens to be my lover.
