Ka Loke (The Rose) - by Mary Heanu

Auhea wale ʻoe e ka loke
Kuʻu lei paoa i ke ʻala
He ʻala onaona no kou
Ke pili mai ʻoe i ʻaneʻi
Maʻaneʻi mai no kāua
Ma ka poli ʻolu o Makana
He makana nui no ke aloha
Aka makamaka aʻe kipa aku ai
O ʻoe e ka ʻeha aka manaʻo
Aka puʻuwai aʻe hana aʻe nei
Haʻina ʻia mai ka puana
Kuʻu lei paoa i ke ʻala
My lei, so sweetly scented
You have a sweet fragrance
When you're close to me
It's here we two should be together
In the comfort of Makana
Love is a great gift
Like a friend bidding welcome
You bring the pain of love to my mind
My heart is excited
Tell the refrain
My lei, so sweetly scented
