`Awapuhi Puakea


by C. Pueo Pata


He mana`o, he aloha no ku`u lei
`Awapuhi puakea o ka kuahiwi


Kilipohe i ka ua a`o Ko`olau
Ku`u pua a`u i kui ai a lawa


He pua onaona kau po`ohiwi
I wehi kāhiko no ku`u kino


I ka nani kōnahe a ka mahina
E mohala mau ai no nā kau a kau


He mele, he aloha no ku`u lei
`Awapuhi puakea o ke kuahiwi
