Hoaiai ana i ke kula o Lele, 



Kei ana iluna o Lahainalalo.

E mea ka paluku haina ma, 



Hoolai ka noho e pule ana, 



Pau ka ai, hele i ka liana. 



Ka hanalima no ka ai.

A Song of Lahainaluna. 



CV KI.MK.M. 



Kahi Mele ia Lahainaluna. 



NA KI.MKAI. 



Beautiful art thou Lahainaluna, 



The trees that are grown on good soil ; 



Grown and covered by thy leaves. 



Under thy shade everyone rests, 

 5. Shading the places that were not shaded : 



Darkening where nothing green was seen. 



Planted on uncultivated soil. 



That is why we call you a tree, 



Sheltering these islands. 

 10. Thou art standing alone on this barren 

 hill, 



And this place was shaded by you, 



You are famous for your shade 



And loved also by the lands. 



For you were grown in the dark. 

 15. The people of that place have 

 raised you ; 



They have fed you 



With the things to develo]) you. 



Your leaves have grown and are beautiful. 



You nnist be stronger than all the plants. 



March, 1839. 



Nani no oe e Lahainaluna. 

 Ka ka laau i ulu ma kahi lepo maikai ; 

 Ulu a maikai kou mau lau. 

 Malalo o kou malu na mea a pau. 

 5. Ua hoomalu aku la oe ma kahi malu ole ; 

 Hoouliuli aku la ma kahi uliuli ole. 

 Kanu ia 'ku la oe ma kahi i kanu ole ia ; 

 Nolaila hoi kapa ia aku oe he laau, 

 E hoomalumalu ana i keia paeaina. 

 10. Ku iho la oe ma keia kula panoa, 

 .A ua malu keia pae wahi ia oe, 

 Kaulana aku la oe no kou malu, 

 Ua aloha ia hoi ia e na aina. 

 No kou ulu ana iloko o ka pouli, 



15. Na ko laila poe i hoala ia oe : 

 Hanai mai la lakou ia oe 

 Me na mea e ulu ai oe, 

 Ua ulu a maikai kou mau lau, 

 E ikaika oe maniua o na mea ulu a pau.
