Ka Lehua I Milia - Words by Mary Pükui, Music by Maddy K. Lam
Ike maka i ka nani o uka Ka lehua i milia e ka ua noe He welina na kealoha e ho`onipo nei E ho`oni nei ia loko a ka pu`uwai Ku`u lei ku`u pua nani mae ole No he nohea i ka maka o ka ipo E ho`olale mai ana e naue aku E kui a lei ko aloha makamae Ha`ina `ia mai ana kapuana Ka lehua i milia e ka ua noe	Ohia Lehua	I have seen the beauty of the uplands The lehua caressed by the misty rain A token from the loved one That creates a stir in my heart My darling, my never fading flower Ever lovely to the sight of the lover An urge has come to me now To string and wear your love as a lei This is the end of my song Of the lehua caressed by the rain
