No Ka La`i Awakea - Traditional
No ka la`i awakea ke aloha lâ I ke kui pua lei `âhihi Ho`ohihi mai `oe `ane`i lâ I ka wai `olu a`o Kemamo Kâua pû nô ke `ike lâ I ka hau anu a`o ka nahele Ke noho maila i ka mauna lâ I ka lihilihi o ka lehua Ke kau a`ela ka manu lâ I ka liko o ka lau lâ`au Huli mai kô alo i Nu`uanu lâ I ka `âpuakea o Mololani Ha`ina ka inoa o ke ali`i lâ `O ka lani Lunalilo he inoa!	The peaceful noon-day we love When we string leis of `âhihi You too, will like it here By the pleasant waters of Kemamo You and I have seen The cold dew in the forest The dew found in the mountain Clinging to the fringes of the lehua A bird comes to perch Among the leaf buds on the tree Now let us turn toward Nu`uanu To see the misty rain of Mololani This is the praise for the chief Whose name is Lunalilo
