I made the acquaintance of the gentleman who wrote the Hawaiian portion of this beautiful song. He was living in Texas. He told me that the English portion is an add-on done by someone else, not an interpretation of the Hawaiian verses.
Makaha Sons Mehameha, White Sandy Beach Lyrics Ua mehameha au 'A'ohe hoaloha Ua nui nâ makahiki A hele aku ho'i au 'I'ini au ia 'oe e noho 'Ina 'a'ole ua hiki no E hi'ipoi mau no wau ia 'oe Aloha mau no wau ia 'oe E hele au ma ke kai E luana me ka 'ae kai Ke one ho'i ua ho'olu mai Holoi a'e i ku'u waimaka (Why am I alone No friends It's been many years And someday I'll be gone I wish you would stay But if you can't, don't I'll always caress you I'll always love you I'll go by the sea To pass the time with the tide The sands comfort me And wipe my tears away) I saw you in my dreams, we were walking hand in hand On a white sandy beach of Hawaii. We were playing in the sun, we were having so much fun On a white sandy beach of Hawaii. Sound of the ocean soothes my restless soul Sound of the ocean rocks me all night long. Those long, hot summer days lying there in the sun On a white sandy beach of Hawaii. Sound of the ocean soothes my restless soul Sound of the ocean rocks me all night long. Last night in my dreams I saw your face again We were there in the sun on a white sandy beach of Hawaii On a white sandy beach of Hawaii On a white sandy beach of Hawaii
Beautiful
This starts out with Mehameha.

Makaha Sons Mehameha, White Sandy Beach Lyrics
Ua mehameha au
'A'ohe hoaloha
Ua nui nâ makahiki
A hele aku ho'i au
'I'ini au ia 'oe e noho
'Ina 'a'ole ua hiki no
E hi'ipoi mau no wau ia 'oe
Aloha mau no wau ia 'oe
E hele au ma ke kai
E luana me ka 'ae kai
Ke one ho'i ua ho'olu mai
Holoi a'e i ku'u waimaka
(Why am I alone
No friends
It's been many years
And someday I'll be gone
I wish you would stay
But if you can't, don't
I'll always caress you
I'll always love you
I'll go by the sea
To pass the time with the tide
The sands comfort me
And wipe my tears away)
I saw you in my dreams,
we were walking hand in hand
On a white sandy beach of Hawaii.
We were playing in the sun,
we were having so much fun
On a white sandy beach of Hawaii.
Sound of the ocean soothes my restless soul
Sound of the ocean rocks me all night long.
Those long, hot summer days lying there in the sun
On a white sandy beach of Hawaii.
Sound of the ocean soothes my restless soul
Sound of the ocean rocks me all night long.
Last night in my dreams I saw your face again
We were there in the sun
on a white sandy beach of Hawaii
On a white sandy beach of Hawaii
On a white sandy beach of Hawaii
