Pili Kapekepeke


by Na Palapalai


Lele ka `i`iwi pōlena i o i`a ne`i
E mūkīkī ana ika wai o nā lehua
Me ka hiki `ole ka ho`ola`ila`i mālie
He mea pili kāpekepeke kā ke aloha


`Auana ana ka lawai`a i ka moana
E huhuli ana i na i`a o ke kai hohonu
Pakele ho`i hā kahi kole maka onaona
He mea pili kāpekepeke kā ke aloha


`Ike ka `ōpio i ka u`i kū i ka nani
`Imo aku `imo mai, ho`okapalili pu'uwai
Ha`alele aku me kāna ipo nonohe
He mea pili kāpekepeke kā ke aloha


Ha`ina `ia ka puana i lohe `ia
He keu a ka u`i maka onaona ka `i`iwi
Poina `ole na`e kēia `ōlelo nui
He mea pili kāpekepeke kā ke aloha
