Lei Ho’oheno - Words & Music by Kainani Kahaunaele 

E ku’u pili aloha
Ku’u lei kau po’ohiwi
Onaona i ka ihu
Nohea i ka maka
Liliko i ka ua kilihune
Kilipohe i ke kanilehua

Wewelo ke aloha i ka ‘onohi
‘Ume’ume mai ho’i kau
E kahi lei ho’oheno

My dear friend
My lei that adorns my shoulders
Sweet to smell
Beautful to look at
Glistening in the wind-blown spray
Moistened by the kanilehua rain

Love streams before my eyes
Oh, how alluring you are
My cherished friend
