- As a stranger I beheld
- The object that broadens the
mind
- The soft murmuring of the
waters
- That gently swirl around
Punalau
-
Chorus:
- Dark is the water of
Punalau
- It is a pool that delights
visitors
- As it gushes and rushes
forth
- And gently whispers in the
spreading mist
-
-
- It appears misty
- In its surroundings of drooping
ferns
- One can bathe in this famous
water
- That gently swirls around
Punalau
