He Lei No Honolulu  Mele oli  ( a greeting chant)  by Manu Boyd, 1996 for the Honolulu Civic Club  GO Download/Print←click this for sheet music  

 'Eia i Honolulu ku'u lei 'ilima
Kohu manu 'ö'ö hulu melemele
Hoa pöki'i o ka maile lauli'i
I ka 'Ualena a'o Ka'ala

E ala mai a e lei mai nö
I ka lei hanohano o Käkuhihewa
Ua pono käkou me ke aloha
E kü nei i ka ua Kükalahale

Puana ku'u lei no Honolulu
Kohu manu 'ö'ö hulu melemele
Ha'ina 'ia mai ana ka puana
No Kalaniana'ole la he inoa

Ha'ina hou mai ana ka puana
No Kalaniana'ole la he inoa ë		 Here in Honolulu is my 'ilima lei
Likened to the golden plume of the 'ö'ö
Close companion of the small-leafed maile
Verdant in the 'Ualena rain of Ka'ala

Arise and adorn yourselves
In the glorious wreath of Käkuhihewa
All is well when love prevails
As we stand together in the Kükalahale rain

This adornment is for Honolulu
And pays tribute to Kalaniana'ole, our founder
Thus ends my story.....
