He ʻIniki - Henri Berger
Hana mao ʻole i kuʻu kino
Eia maʻanei ka ʻi`ʻini
Ka manaʻo hoʻi lua i ka puʻuwai
Hui:
He ʻiniki la he ʻiniki
He ʻiniki welawela ka ke aloha
Huʻi e huʻi la huʻi koni
Huʻi konikoni lua i ka puʻuwai
Pā mai ka makani kaulana
Kiliʻoʻopu o Waiheʻe
Ko mai ʻala huʻihuʻi
Hoʻihoʻi laʻi o Eleile
Henri Berger
So ruthless with my being
Desire is here for you
Ever renewed in the heart
Chorus:
A pinch, a pinch
A burning pinch has love
An ache, an ache, a throb
Much throbbing in the heart
The familiar wind is blowing
The Kiliʻoʻopu breeze brings the fragrance
A cool breeze brings the fragrance
Of the returning ti stalk of Eleile
