Waipiʻo
by Mekia Kealakai, George Allen, Charles Hopkins ʻO kāu hana mau nō ia That is your custom ʻO ka hoʻokipa i ke aloha To be hospitable A naʻu i hoʻoheno mua And I have been favored Ka makani o Laulani To know the wind of Laulani He inoa kēia no Waipiʻo This is in praise of Waipiʻo O Kahalelauokekoa Of Kahalelauokekoa I puia ke ʻala Full of fragrance Onaona i ke ihu That delights the nose E ka iʻa hāmau leo Oh fish that silences the voice E hiʻipoi mālie nei You to cherish I ka mea kāmehaʻi The wonderous one O ua ʻāina nei of the land |
