Ka Huila Wai - by Alfred Alohikea
Kû wale mai no ka huila wai A`ohe wai ia`u e niniu ai   He aniani kû mau `oe no He hoa kûkâ pû me kaua   Aloha `ia nô Môlîlele I ka lele ahea i ka moana   Aloha `ia nô o Wai`ôhinu Ka pali lele wai a ke koae   Mai noho `oe a ho`opoina I kahi pîkake ulu ma`ema`e   Ha`ina `ia mai ana ka puana A`ohe wai i`au e niniu ai	The windmill just stands still No water comes swirling up   You are a constant reflection of me My companion, always conversing with me   Beloved indeed is Môlîlele When the clouds swirl, the ocean is stormy   Beloved is the koae bird from The waterfall of Wai`ôhinu   Just don't you forget This attractive peacock   Tell the refrain No water comes swirling up
Source: Garza-Maguire Collection - Verse 3, the cliff Môlîlele was named for Monilele, a very pretty young girl who caught the eye of a chief that was not well liked. He declared she would become his wife. The day before the wedding, she went to the forest and picked all the maile to adorn herself. She then went down to the cliffs at South Point, and jumped off. If you go to the cliffs at South Point and smell maile, where obviously no maile grows, it is because Monilele likes you. This legend told by a Ka`û kupuna born near Hilea. When asked about Moaula, it was pronounced in the vernacular (or maybe a dialect) Moula, leaving out the "a". Hence the transition Moanilele, Monilele, Molilele (in song).
