Lyrics Source: Auntie Maria mele.com - Miloli`i (fine twist or small swirling) 
was a fishing village renowned for its sennit. May have been named for an 
expert sennit twister who lived there.

`elima - five or five times. Hawaiian dictionary, Pukui/Elbert 

The fifth day of February
Tears fell along the roadway

Bags and bundles held tightly
Tears fell along the roadway

The babies cry
Numbing to the body

Tell the refrain
A name song for Miloli`i
