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
