Ha`ina A Ka Pu`uwai (The Heart's Confession) - words by John K. Almeida
He hia`ai au ko`u `oe E ku`u ipo ku`u aloha Ke aloha ka hali`a ka i hiki mai Me he wai mapuna ka pipi`i A he pua nani ia ua poni `ia I kukuni pa`a ia ka i`ini He i`ini ho`oheno na ka mana`o I ke onaona noho i ka poli Ha`ina `ia mai ana ka puana Ka ha`ina `ia a ka pu`uwai	I am always longing for you My sweetheart, my darling   Love and fond recollections come to me Rising like a bubbling spring   My darling is a choice blossom, rare To whom I have given my heart   A desired one, treasured within A fragrant one, held to my bosom   This now ends my song The confession of my heart
