| Ka ʻiniki mālie a ka moaʻe Ka i hoʻāla mai ka liʻa puʻuwai i ke aloha O ka pā aheahe a ka moaʻe E pā mālie e hoʻonē mai i nēia kino I lalawe ʻia aku e ka moaʻe Ke ʻoni aku la keoni mai la i ka mili kaʻa Haʻina ke aloha o ka moaʻe Ka i hoʻāla mai ka liʻa puʻuwai i ke aloha | The gentle pinches of the
moa`e Awakened the desire within my heart The soft blowing of the moa`e Playfully teases me (my body) Taken away by the moa`e breeze Shifting in its caress A tale of love for the moa`e That awakend the desire within my heart |
Source: Teresa Bright CD "Painted Tradition", Copyright F. Kawaikapuokalani Hewett - Moaʻe is the Hawaiian name of the tradewinds. This mele compares lovemaking to the gentle breezes of the moaʻe and was among the first compositions of Kawaikapuokalani Hewett. Teresa Bright, the composer's cousin, presents one of the most pure renditions of this song. | |
