[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.
