1 Auhea la o Moanike‘ala [KBMH]
2 Rain Tuahine pi‘o anuenue [KBMH]
 
Where are you Moanike‘ala
Dear companion of mine
And what are you doing turning away
Oh sulphurous Pu‘ulena breeze


I thought this was the right thing
Over which you now hesitate
Do hurry, for both our sakes
To bring me comfort, my dear

I am entranced to see
That bubbling well spring
Kuahine rain with its arching rainbow
Of those lofty heights

Here indeed am I, adorned
Desirous of the sweet perfume
That sweet nectar of lehua
Nectar sipped by the birds [HMA]
