Maile Lau Li`ili`i - Ray Kinney & David Burrows
Maile lau li`ili`i e
Hoa pili o ka palai

Lau o ka `iwa`iwa
Hoa pili o ka `ie`ie

Lau o ka `awapuhi
Ho`oheno me ke kahawai

Ha`ina `ia mai ana ka puana
Kau mai Kilauea

Small leaf maile
Close friend of the palai

Frond of the `iwa`iwa
Close friend of the `ie`ie

Leaf of the ginger
Cherished with the stream

Tell the refrain
From Kilauea
