Muʻolaulani - by Mekia Kealakai |

| He mea nui ke aloha Ke hiki mai i oʻu nei Meheʻo kuʻu lei kaimana ala Kāhiko o kuʻu kino Kuʻu lei popohe i ka laʻi Nohea i Muʻolaulani Ka beauty lā he mau ia No nā kau a kau |
This great love of yours Has come here to me It is like my diamond necklace To adorn my person My lei so shapely in the calm Handsome at Muʻolaulani It is a beauty, always a thing forever For all seasons |
