Nani Nani Nani Venuse


Words by Mary Kawena Puku`i music by Maddy K. Lam


Nani nani ha`aheo
He nani no `oe ku`uipo aloha
Come be with me, always my own
A pulama mau ia ke aloha


He nani kou e Venuse e kau ha`aheo nei
`Olinolino mai i luna i ka maka o ka `ōpua


He mana`o ho`ohali`a ho`onape ana i ka poli
I kau ha`i ana mai eia a`e ku`u huapala


Ku`u hoa kuikui lima o ka pō mahina la`i kōnane
I ka nehe mai a ke kai hāwanawana i ke one


Pili `ia me ke aloha i ka ua nui me ka makani
Kama`ia a pa`a pono ua kumu i ka pu`uwai


Ha`ina mai ka puana no ka nani o Venuse
`Olinolino mai i luna i ka maka o ka `ōpua
