ʻAuhea wale ʻoe e Maunaloa lā Kū hinakā popopo lā Haʻina ʻia mai ana ka puana lā |
Where are you o Mauna Loa Of the big hips Return my love Tra la la,To Kaʻawaloa Until you come My 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 |
