Mele A Ka Pu`uwai - words and music by Brandon `Iliahi Paredes

 
He mana`o he aloha ë
No ke konikoni a ka pu`uwai
Ha`o ana i kou nani ë
Kou aloha pau`ole i na pualei
 
 
Me ka la e noweo nei
Ka`i ana ma ke ala pono o ke ola ë
Punia i ka hana ë
Ulu mahuahua e mohala i kou nani ë
 
 
Puana ke aloha ë
No ke konikoni a ka pu`uwai
Ha`o `ana i kou nani ë
E maliu mai `oe e ho`i e ho`i mai
A thought, an upwelling of affection
For the pulsing emotions in the heart
Missing the beauty that you are
And the boundless love that you bestow
 
 
Like the glow of the sun in its heaven
Guiding along the pathways of life
Tasks and responsibilities surround you
Further developing the full bloom of your beauty
 
 
Express the deep affection
For the pulsing emotions in the heart
Missing the beauty that you are
Take heed, come back, return to us
