We belonged in the land of the pueo
Yes, everyday me and Tara we would
Watch it dance across the land
From the mountain slopes
It glided to the Kona coast
Then led up in Waimea
Ooh ooh ooh ooh pueo! The pueo!
Ooh ooh ooh ooh pueo! The pueo!
Yes, mother I saw the pueo
Everyday we watch it
Spread its wings so free
As it floated into the sunset
I thought of my city home
Waiting for me
Ooh ooh ooh ooh pueo! The pueo!
Ooh ooh ooh ooh pueo! The pueo!
Yes, father I saw the pueo
It reminded me of how it
Must have been long ago
To have lived in a village
Forested by sandlewood
Then Tara. B. Woke me up and said
Where did it go? It went home
Please sing for Tara, the pueo and me
Forever free
