Reichel Kealii - Pua Hinano lyrics

rate me

He nani ka pua hinano, ehe

I uka o 'Ahuimanu

I kumu pali wewehi

Kau ai ka maka ia 'oe

'Opu'u mai ka hinano, ehe

A mohala i ka nahele

He lalilali ka lihi

I ka ua Po'aihale

Onaona no ka hinano, ehe

He mapuna i ka Moa'e

Ho'olale i ka mana'o

Ia hanu anuhea

'auhea ku'u hinano, ehe

E lu helele'i ka 'ehu

A paoa ke kulu aumoe

Moe pono iho kaua

Ha'ina mai ka puana, ehe

He nani ka pua henano

He wehi no 'Ahuimanu

Kau ku'u maka ia 'oe.

The hinano is a flower of great beauty

There above 'Ahuimanu

At the verdant base of the cliff

The eyes are drawn to you

The hinano bud emerges

And blooms there in the forest

The sheaths are smooth and glossy

In the swirling Po'aihale rain

The hinano is so very fragrant

An aroma carried on the trade wind

So stirring to the thoughts

Is that sweet scent you exude

Hear me, my dear hinano

Let your snowy pollen scatter down

So the night shall be perfumed

You and I shall enjoy our respose

Let the story be told

The hinano is a flower of great beauty

An adornment for 'Ahuimanu

My eye is fixed on you
