KA ULUWEHI O KE KAI Paroles

He lipoa i pae i ke one
Ke one hinuhinu la
Wela i ka la ke hehi a'e
Mai mana'o he pono keia!

Ho'okohukohu e ka limu kohu
Ke kau i luna o na moku la
'O ia maku 'ula la e ho
'Oni ana i 'oi anei


TRANSLATION:
THE PLANTS OF THE SEA

Such a delight it is to see
The great big ocean,
So familiar and very cherished
With its fragrance of the lipoa

How enticing is the display of limu kohu
Atop the rocks in the ocean,
Enticing one to pick them
As they sway to and fro
