Maunaloa - by Helen Lindsey Parker
 

ʻAuhea wale ʻoe e Maunaloa lā
Kīkala nui
Hoʻi hoʻi mai ʻoe i kuʻu aloha lā
Ē, ē, ē, Kaʻawaloa nei

Ua hiki nō ʻoe a e hele ana lā
Me ka ipo manuahi
A naʻu nō ia honi hoʻokahi lā
Ē, ē, ē, kahi pela aʻo kāua

Kū hinakā popopo lā
ʻAi ʻia e ka ʻelelū
A naʻu nō ia ē kāwele nei lā
Ē, ē, ē, Kō kāmaʻa miomio

Haʻina ʻia mai ana ka puana lā
Kū ʻoe a hele pēlā
A naʻu nō ia honi hoʻokahi lā
Ē, ē, ē, kahi pela aʻo kāua

Where are you o Mauna Loa
Of the big hips
Return my love
Tra la la,To Kaʻawaloa

Until you come
M
y lover
It's my lot to be restless alone

Tra la la,
In the place that's for us two

Your hankie is worn
Eaten by the roaches
I use it to wipe off
Tra la la,Your pointy-toed shoes

The story is told
Now you just get out
It's my lot to be restless alone
Tra la la, Where we two used to be
