- Beloved is Lihu`e
- In the moving of the Paupili
rain
-
-
- I am close with my love
- By the murmuring sea at
Niumalu
-
-
- Your body is reserved for me
alone
- By the beautiful rose blossom
of Hauola
-
-
- My very life is my love
- Worn as the flower of
victory
-
-
- Majestic is Ha`upu standing
there
- Adorned in the mist of the
clouds
-
-
- A lei of pearls from my
love
- Was sealed in my heart
-
-
- Great riches is your love to
me
- Famous indeed the new
land
-
-
- I call, you answer
- For the unforgettable person,
precious as a rare shell lei
