`U`ina Loko (Nolupe)
- Namoolau & Peters |
|
Ku`u pua hanu `ala `oiala Kolonahe o ka ahiahi He`awihi ana li`a loko Ho`onanea ana ahi o mâkia No lupê ka hali`a ua li`a loko Hapahapai `i`ini ko ka `ane`i A he aka kau e ka lipoa E honehone nei i ka `i`i` a loko |
She is my fragrant flower Whose perfume is wafted at eventide A wink and love starts within And the time is whiled away in courting The yearning increases, love has begun The desire is raised and grown What are you up to, o lipoa seaweed Wooing to increase the desire in my heart |
