LAIEIKAWAI

Aia Laieikawai
I ka uka wale la o Paliuli;
O ka nani, o ka nani,
Helu ekahi o ia uka.

E nanea e walea ana paha,
I ka leo nahenahe o na manu;
E nanea, e walea ana paha,
I ka leo nahenahe o na manu.

Kau mai Laieikawai
I ka eheu la o na manu;
O ka nani, o ka nani,
Helu ekahi o Paliuli.

E nanea, e walea ana paha,
I ka leo nahenahe o na manu;
E nanea, e walea ana paha,
I ka leo nahenahe o na manu.

Ua lohe paha i ka hone mai,
O ka pu lau-i a Malio;
Honehone, honehone,
Helu ekahi o Hopoe.

E nanea, e walea ana paha,
I ka leo nahenahe o na manu;
E nanea, e walea ana paha,
I ka leo nahenahe o na manu.
