Wahine U`i - James Kahale
Auhea wale `oe
E ka wahine u`i
Ka mea i like aku
Me ka mahina

He u`i nô `oe
I ka`u ike
He u`i mae wale
Na`e i ka la

Aia ko puni
E ku`u aloha
Ka poke `ô`io
Lomilomi i`a

Âhea lâ `oe
Ho`iho`i mai
E ka mea i like aku
Me ka mahina

Ha`ina `ia mai
Ana ka puana
He u`i nô `oe
Lâ i ka`u `ike

You must listen
The beautiful woman
The one whose beauty is comparable
To the moonlight

You are a beauty
In my sight
A beauty that dwindles
In the light of day

Your delight
My beloved
Is the raw bonefish
That has been massaged

When will you
Return
One who is comparable
To the moonlight

The story
Is told
You are a beauty
To behold
