Nu`a O Ka Palai - Words & music by Prince William Pitt Leleiohôkû

Kau ano mai ana ia`u la
Na kulu paka ua `elo`elo la
Elo `oe `elo au i ke anu la
Pulupê pau i ka anu

Hui:
Aia i ka nu`a ka palai la
Ka wewehi wai olu a loko la
Hali`ali`a mai ana la
Ia`u pu`uwai ka palili

Kao Hanalei i ke anu la
Hânupanupa i ke ko`eko`e la
Ko`eko`e au iâ `oe la
E ka pua ku`u pua i ka `ia


 Memories come back to me
Of a drenching rain
You were soaked, I was soaked
Made cold, well-drenched and very cold

Chorus:
There among the thickly growing ferns
We found a gentle rising of love within
Coming little by little
Into my fluttering heart

Hanalei was make icy with the cold
A cold that kept growing and growing
I was chilled by you
O flower, my flower so high
