Wai O Minehaha - Words & music by Robert Waialeale
Aia i ka uka aʻo Mānāwaiopuna Nā wai pālua i ke alo pali Ua ʻike i ka wailele aʻo Mōpua I ke ani i ka lau o ka makani Hui: Pulu au i ka hunahuna wai Wai kaulana aʻo Minehaha I laila kuʻu ʻupu kuʻu liʻa ana I ka wailele o Mānāwaiopuna	There in the uplands of Mānāwaiopuna The two streams before the face of the cliff I have seen the waterfall of Mōpua Swayed by the movement of the wind Chorus: Wet was I by the spray of the water The famous water of Minehaha There is my pride, my joy The waterfall of Mānāwaiopuna
