Ahia - Chant Mele Ma'i
A luna au o Ahia Haa ana ka lehua i ka wai   E inu i ka mapunapuna E mapu mai ana ke ala   Ke ala o ka lau hinahina Hina iki a'e no kaua   Ka lawena aka hoa akamai E niniu ka pua i ka nahele   Hele no `oe a mana'o mai E ia i anei ko aloha   He aloha ke kumu i hui ai Ike ia na pali Ko'olau   Ha`ina `ia mai ka puana Haa ana ke lehua i ka wai   He inoa no Kupake`e	I was in the upland of Ahia Where I saw a lehua sway over the waters   Drinking from the cool spring While fragrance filled the air   The fragrance of the hinahina leaf Let's pause here for a while   This is how a clever companion Sets the forest flowers awhirl   Go and remember Your lover waits for you, here   It was love that drew us together To gaze on the hills of the north   Tell the refrain of The lehua that sways over the waters     The name song for Kupake`e
Source: This mele mai honors the high chief Kupake`e of Kaua`i. Lehua refers to a young maiden. Hinahina is the native heliotrope (heliotropium anomalum).
