My Sweet Pīkake Lei - Words by Robert Cazimero & Kaleo Chock
Music by Robert Cazimero 

My sweet pīkake lei
ʻAuhea ʻoe
E kuʻu ipo
My ʻei nei

Kui ʻia i ka lei
Me ka makemake
Kui a lawa
Pili pa’a pono ai

Kaulana ke onaona
O ia lei
Honi aku honi mai
I ka ua noe

Lei hoʻoheno
Ke ʻike aku
Milikaʻa
I ka pua lahaʻole

Haʻina ʻia mai
Ana ka puana
Palena ʻole
Ke aloha no kuʻu lei


My sweet pīkake lei
Where are you?
My darling
My strange one

Sewn into a lei
Of desire
Strung until finished
Held fast

Famous is the fragrance
Of this lei
Scenting
The misty rain

Cherished lei
Seen
Caressed
As a rare flower

I end
My song
The love for this lei
Is without restriction
