Malana`i Anu Ka Makani - Words & Music by M. Kealoha

Ke noe mai la e ka ua
Lawe nihi lau lâ`au
Kili po e mai la i luna
I ka nuku wai a ka manu

Hui:
Malana`i anu ka makani
Nahenahe ka pilina mai
Ho`aleale mai ana
I ka lihi wai mapuna

Ua lana mai ka mana`o
I ke hanu o na pua
E kukupu i ka ni`o
Paepae kapu oa Liloa

 The misty rain is seen
Quietly slipping among the trees
The mist settles on high
Where the birds come to drink water

Chorus:
A cold breeze is the Malana`i
It wafts hither so softly
It causes a gentle ripple
At the edge of the pond

A wish for me
For the sweet breath of the flowers
That grow up high
On Liloa's sacred platform
