Lihuʻe - by Annie Koulukou
Aloha ʻia no aʻo Lihuʻe I ka neʻe mai a ka ua Paupili   Ua pili no au me kuʻu aloha Me ke kai nehe mai aʻo Niumalu   Ua malu ko kino naʻu hoʻokahi Na ka nani pua rose aʻo Hauola   Ua ola no au me kuʻu aloha A kau i ka pua o ka lanakila   Kilakila Haʻupu aʻe ku nei Kahiko i ka maka aʻo ka opua   A he pua lei momi na kuʻu aloha Ua sila paʻa ia i ka puʻuwai   A he waiwai nui naʻu ko aloha Kaulana no ka ʻāina malihini   Hea aku no wau o mai ʻoe Na ka pua lei momi poina ʻole	Beloved is Lihuʻe In the moving of the Paupili rain   I am close with my love By the murmuring sea at Niumalu   Your body is reserved for me alone By the beautiful rose blossom of Hauola   My very life is my love Worn as the flower of victory   Majestic is Haʻupu standing there Adorned in the mist of the clouds   A lei of pearls from my love Was sealed in my heart   Great riches is your love to me Famous indeed the new land   I call, you answer For the unforgettable person, precious as a rare shell lei
