Rain Tuahine O Manoa - by Julia Walanika
Wehiwehi nei pua na`u e kui Ke kipona `ia me ka ma`o A he pua kapu `ia nâ ka manu Na ka `i`iwi polena o ka uka       Kaulana e ka ua i Wa`ahila I ka hehi i ke ono o ke pili Ho`okahi no `oe o laila Me ka rain Tuahine o Manoa	These flowers I'll string as an adornment Combined with the ma'o A blossom sacred to the birds The honeycreeper of the uplands       Famous is the rain at Wa`ahila Falling upon the pili grass You are the only one there With the Tuahine rain of Manoa
Source: Kamehameha HSI - Tuahine is the gentle rain of Manoa. The lover is likened to the `i`iwi or honeycreeper. Wa`ahila is the ridge between Manoa and Palolo Valleys. Recorded by Leo Nahenahe Singers on "Folk Songs of Hawai`i" CD
