Oli Ho`i - Traditional


Ho`i e, ho`i la
Ho’i e ka `ohu e
I ka ua lehua
A`o kula Manu e
` Onaona i ke ala
Lau `o ke kupukupu
Kupu a`e ke aloha
Noho pono i ka ni`o
Ae, ae, ae, ae

He inoa no Hi`iaka i ka poli `o Pele

They return, return
The mists return once again
To the upland home of lehua
The haunt of many birds
Very sweet is the fragrance
Of the leaves of the fern
There love sprouted and grew
To dwell on the heights
Tra la la

The name of Hi`iaka-in-the-bosom-of-Pele
