Lili`i Mokihana (Tiny Mokihana) - Traditional

E maliu mai `oe e ke aloha
E lili`i mokihana i kanu`u
E hea e kipa ka `anoi
Me ia pohai anuhea

Hui:
Li`a au i ka la`i pohina
`Ilihia i ka wai mapuna
Ka waiho kâhele i ka la`i
Pôniuniu `ailana lana ka mana`o

 Hearken to me, o beloved
Tiny mokihana up so high
Call and invite love to come in
With that loving friendly association

Chorus:
I yearn for the misty calm
Am thrilled by the water of a spring
Stretched before me in the calm
It buoys my thought
