Hawaiian Hula Song (Pua Rose - Dargie's Hula) - Henry Kailimai

Kaulana e ka nani o ka pua rose
ʻAi kaulana a nâ manu

Ka hana hoʻoipo o ka makemake
Onaona mau i ka ‘ike a ka maka

Kilakila kou nani e ka pua kea
Ua ‘ike i ka nani Kahuwailana

Launa pū me Heakekoa
Elieli i ka wai a ke aloha

Ha‘ina ‘ia mai ana ka puana
O na kā huli hone i ka pili ‘ehu kai


Famous is the beauty of the rose
Famous nesting place of the birds

Making love willingly
Always alluring to the eye

Imposing is your beauty rose blossom
Beauty seen by Kahuwailana

Meeting with Heakekoa
Engulfed in the nectar of love

Tell the story
Memory of love's sweetness embraced by the sea spray
