Lei Pahapaha
Ka Haku Mele • 2m 59s
Me he ala e ʻī mai ana
Ka wai liʻulā o Mānā
Ka wai ʻula ʻiliahi
Ke one kani o Nohili
Nonohili
Pehea lā e kuʻu lei pahapaha aʻo Polihale?
I lei papahi no kuʻu kino
I Kaulakahi
Kaulakahi
Hui:
Hoʻi mai kāua
I ke kili a ka ua
Kohu ipo manuahi
I oʻu pāpālina
I paʻa ka lei, paʻahia
I ka makani ua ahe Unulau
O Kawaihoa i Kaunu
Ka welona a ka lā
I Lehua

English Translation:
It’s as if you’re saying
You’re like the famous mirage of Mānā
The rare dual colored waters of Waimea
And the mysterious resounding sands of
Nohili
What do you think, oh prospect?
Could you be a significant adornment
For me at this place of connection?
Chorus:
I’ve missed you
And our time in the passing showers
Whose raindrops personify a lover
Kissing my cheek
It is set, affirmed
In the rain bringing tradewind of Niʻihau
It’s you and I for an afternoon delight
As the sun sets at Lehua
Up Next in Ka Haku Mele

Kahalaoweke: Mele Nala Lau Hala
Kaulana Kahaloweke o ka hikina lā,
Hoʻonipo ana me ka hala o Māpuwena–
Pili ana i ka piko o ka hono
ʻO Kapueokahi i ka ulua ka Halemauʻu.Hoʻohaunuʻu Hāna iā Kaihuakalā,
I ka pōʻai puni ʻia e ke Kiu,
I ka haʻi mai a ka nalu o Keʻanini
I ke alo pali o ka wai o Punahoa.Kīkiʻi Mokuhano i ka ʻehu...
