O Ka pa mai a ka ma`a`a
Halihali mai ana la i ke `ala
Ke `ala onaona o ka lipoa
Hana oe a kani pono
Hui:
Nani Wale Ia Pu`eone la
I ka nalu he`e mai a`o Kananaka
Kahi a makou a e he`e ai
I ka `ehu `ehu o ke kai
`O Ka Mahina Hiki Aloalo
Ho`ola`ila`i ana la i na pali
Pohina Wehiwehi I ke onaona
Koni Ma`e`ele I Ke Kino
Translation:
The ma`a`a Wind Blows
Bringing the scent
The Flagrant of Lipoa
Pick just enough
chorus:
Beautiful are the sand dunes
Kananaka Surfs near shore
In The Spray of the Sea
The moon rises
Poised above cliffs
Moonbeams are so alluring
thrilling the body
