Aloha Ka Leo O Kahi Manu - by Frank Kawaikapuokalani Hewett 

 

Aloha ka leo
O kahi manu
E hea mai

Lua ole ka mele
Ona manu
Ma`a mau no

Hauoli au
I lohe mai
Ke kona aloha e ho`oipo

Eia ka pane
Ka e o
Ho`olauna kaua a pili no
The voice of love
Of one special bird
As it calls to me

The song of this bird
Is not like
That of any other

I am pleased
In hearing
The invitation to love

Here is the answer
The response
Let the two of us get to know one another
