Ka Ua A`o Hilo (The Rain Of Hilo) - Traditional

 
Ka ua a`o Hilo a`e mao ana la
Ke aloha o ka ipo mea pau `ole

He aniani ku kou aloha na`u
He hoa kuka po me ke ao

Ua ao ka ua e ku`u aloha
Ke noe mai nei ka liko lehua

He lehua mua `oe na`u i lei
Ka helena o ka `âina malihini

Ha`ina `ia mai ana ka puana la
Ke aloha o ka ipo mea pau`ole
The rain of Hilo will clear up
Love of the sweetheart, an endless thing

A standing mirror is your love for me
A companion to talk with all night and day

The rain grows light, my love
It mists the lehua bud

You are the first lehua for me to wear as a lei
Traveling the land for the first time

The story is told
Love of my sweetheart is an endless thing
