Ano`ai iä `oe e Wai`anae
| A greeting to you o
Waianae The scent in the shade of the kukui groves For the desire to gather maile, cherished and beloved The fragrance that is carried on the soft breeze A fond greeting from the uplands of Waianae Verdant in the lushness of palapalai fern Like a blanket it covers the valley And is kissed by the light rain that chills the skin Love to the cliffs of Waianae In the hands that work remain the fragrance of infatuation The scent of maile entangled in the kukui trees The lei that adorns a man's broad chest So here then is the labor of love The many beauties that adorn the land Maile braided with palapalai A greeting, a fond greeting of love
