Kamakahala - Traditional
Aia la i ka pua o ke Kamakahala E noho mai la i Nu`uanu E walea ana paha ka wahine hele lâ I ke ku`i pua lei `âhihi Lihaliha i ka makahawai o uka E noho mai la kanahele Kîkepa ka `ohu i na pali Ka noe ua Kûkalahale A he mea mau no i ke kanaka `O ka `ono wale aku no`i ka i`a nui E mâ`alo i ku`u maka `A`ole paha ia `oe ia wahi e	There is a flower, kamakahala Dwelling there in Nu`uanu Pleasing perhaps, the lady who walks in the sunlight Braiding the `ahihi lei Overwhelmed by the damp upland growth Dwelling in the forest The mist gliding by the hillside The misty Kukalahale rain It is a usual thing with humans To long for the "big fish" That passes before my eyes And perhaps, it is no business of yours
