オヒアの木 / ohia no ki (lyrics)
Ohi’a tree
To my tiny and forever the world’s biggest angel Be it your first cries, the day you first slept holding my finger or the day you first cried all night beside me and I first felt like nothing seemed to work We two were full of firsts but I was able to overcome them all because I was with you When you laugh, you know, the way you squeeze one eye shut is the same as me When you’re sleepy, the way you pout and stick out your lower lip is also the same I wonder when you’ll know what your name is or maybe you already know it? Like how Lehua nestles close to the Ohi’a tree Like how she softly lets strong flowers bloom I put those kinds of thoughts into your name On days when cold snow falls you can rest on my chest On scorching summer days you can run free, anywhere you like I’ll be watching over you Always I wonder when you’ll know what your name is or maybe you already know it? When you ask me about your name someday how shall I tell you? Ah- the day when Lehua let her flowers bloom to cuddle close to the Ohi’a tree Ah- that’s when a gentle breeze taught me a new meaning of life that is true to me I guess that’s what I’ll tell you ------------ Note: The Ohi’a tree is a Hawaiian tree and Lehua is the name of its flowers. Legend goes that the volcano goddess Pele fell in love with Ohi’a at first sight, but he was already in love with Lehua and turned her down. In a fit of rage Pele turned Ohi’a into a twisted tree. The other gods took pity on the heartbroken Lehua and transformed her into a flower that grows on the Ohi’a tree. That’s why it’ll rain if you pluck a flower from the Ohi’a tree: you’re separating the couple again. ------------ kanji: Spoiler:
