Ka Moaʻe - by Solomon Hiram
ʻAuhea wale ʻoe e ka moaʻe E lawe hele nei i kuʻu aloha Ahea la ʻoe hoʻihoʻi mai A he lei poina ʻole ia naʻu A he wehi kāhiko nō kuʻu kino A he hoa i ke anu pili hemo ʻole E lei aku ʻoe i kuʻu aloha I koʻolua nou nō kahi mehameha Mai noho ʻoe a hoʻopoina I kahi pōkē pua lalana A kāua la i kui iho ai Kāhiko nō ka pō ua liʻiliʻi Ilihia hoʻi au a i kō leo I ka pane ʻana mai me ka nahenahe I he aha nei hana nui au E haʻi mai `oe e kuʻu aloha He aloha i pili ʻia e ke onaona Kuʻu ipo i ke kai malino aʻo Kona Nō Kona mai nō ke kai malino Nā hau o Mā`ihi e kaulana nei Haʻina ʻia mai ka puana Kuʻu ipo i ke kai malino aʻo Kona	Listen, o tradewind Who takes my love away When will you return The person, I will never forget A fine adornment for my body A friend never to leave me when I am cold Wear my love as a lei And as your companion in lonely places Do not forget The warm bouquet of flowers We shall be interwoven As blessing for nights with fine rain I will be thrilled by your voice And your soft answers Whatever I am doing Just call me, my love Love entwined with sweet fragrance My sweetheart of the calm sea of Kona From Kona's calm seas Famous dew of Māʻihi Tell the story My sweetheart of the calm sea of Kona
