Hâlona -Words & Music by J. Elia

 
E aloha wale a`e ana no au
I ka ua Pa`ûpili
I ka nihi kô`iawe i na pali
Mauka o Hâlona

He aloha ku`u lei kiele la
Me `oe ke aloha bonita
A hiki aku wau i laila
Konikoni i ku`u pu`uwai
I fondly remember
The Pa`ûpili rain
As it quietly passes over the pilli grass
Up on
Hâlona

I love my gardenia wreath
Who holds my handsome love
When I arrive there
There'll be a throbbing in my heart
