Kaʻena
Aia i Kaʻena kuʻu lei momi
I ka hoʻopulu ʻia i ka ehukai
Kou maka onaona kaʻu i aloha
Kou leo kani hone hone i ke kula
Akahi hoʻi au ke ʻike maka
Ka ukana luʻuluʻu a ke aloha [1]
Hoʻona ae ana i ke aloha
Ka pilina o ke kula Lauhulu
Me he lei hulu mamo e lei ke aloha
A ka puʻuwai a e malama nei
Malama pono oe e ipo aloha
I ka puni kauoha a kaua
Uluhua wale au i ke kaiuli
I ka makani kaulana ao Waianae
Nana e kaomi malie nei
Me ka malu launiu o Pokai
Ka hone a ke kai o Puʻuloa
Me he ala o kuʻu aloha kekahi
Hea aku no au o mai oe
O ka ua koko ula ku kamahao
A hiki i ke kula o Moanalua
Hoʻohihi na maka ke ike aku
Ke hoi nei au no ke kaona
E hui me ka liko pua ahihi
Haʻina ʻia mai ana ka puana
Aia i Kaʻena kuʻu lei momi [2]
