| Ka `iniki mälie a ka moa`e Ka i ho`äla mai ka li`a pu`uwai i ke aloha O ka pä aheahe a ka moa`e E pä mälie e ho`onë mai i nëia kino I lalawe `ia aku e ka moa`e Ke `oni aku la keoni mai la i ka mili ka`a Ha`ina ke aloha o ka moa`e Ka i ho`äla mai ka li`a pu`uwai i ke aloha | The gentle pinches of the
moa`e Awakened the desire within my heart The soft blowing of the moa`e Playfully teases me (my body) Taken away by the moa`e breeze Shifting in its caress A tale of love for the moa`e That awakend the desire within my heart |

Source: Teresa Bright CD "Painted Tradition", Copyright F. Kawaikapuokalani Hewett - Moa`e is the Hawaiian name of the tradewinds. This mele compares lovemaking to the gentle breezes of the moa`e and was among the first compositions of Kawaikapuokalani Hewett. Teresa Bright, the composer's cousin, presents one of the most pure renditions of this song. | |
