Kaena Song (Kuu Lei Momi), 1913

KAENA SONG

Aia i Kaena kuu Lei Momi

Ua hoopulu ia e ka hunakai

Akahi hoi au a ikemaka

Ka ukana luuluu a ke aloha

Hoona ae ana i ko aloha

Ka pilina o ke kula a o Lauhulu

Me he lei hulu mamo ala ko aloha

A ka puuwai a e malama nei

Malama pono oe a i ko aloha

I ka puni kauoha a kaua

Uluhua wale au i ke kaiaulu

I ka makani kaulana a o Waianae

Nana a e kaomi malie nei

Me ka malu lau niu o Poka-i

Ke i ae nei ko’u manao

E hui me ka I’ahamauleo

Ka hone a ke kai a o Puuloa

Me he ala o kuu aloha kekahi

Haina hou ia mai ka puana

Aia i ka piko malalo iho
