Eia
mai au ‘o Moanike‘ala
O nä pua ma ka hikina, e pua hone i ka poli. |
Here
I am, Moanike‘ala
A fragrant flower sweet and appealing to the heart. |
Kou
mau maka e ‘ï mai ana
I ‘ane‘i käua e naue ai. |
Your
eyes seem to say,
Come let us move along together. |
Na
ka mahina mälamalama i hö‘ike mai
‘O ‘oe nö ku‘u pua (i) ka umauma. |
For
the bright moonlight has revealed
You are my flower that I embrace in my bosom. |
Puana
e ka u‘i ‘o Moanike‘ala
O nä pua ma ka hikina, he pua hone i ka poli. |
This
ends my song for Moanike‘ala
A fragrant flower, aflower that appeals to the heart. |
