Aloha Ka Manini

Aloha Ka Manini - Lot Kauwe
Aloha ka manini me ka pōpolo He iʻa noho ia i ka laupapa Kala, ka nenue ʻo ka nahawele Moani ke ʻala ke honi aku Āhole iʻa piko lihaliha Poi ʻuala kāohi puʻu Haʻina ʻia mai ana ka puana Aloha ka manini me ka pōpolo	Hail to the manini and pōpolo Fish that live in the reef Kala and nenue mixed with nahawale seaweed The scent is inviting The belly of the āhole fish is rich and fat With sweet potato poi it slides down the throat Tell the refrain Hail to the manini and pōpolo
