Kahukiʻaialo
Beloved lei of Puamana
Our home in Lahaina
Oh, how regal you are
You are as a queen of many
Oh, beloved chiefess
With an open heart
Thus your subjects are filled with love
for you
For it is told
Kahuki`aialo
From the breadfruit grove of
Lele
Respond to your name

Source: Hailama Farden - This is a name song for
the composer's sister, Annette Elsie Kahukiʻaialo (Farden) Ryan.
Written in the mid 60's, it was
introduced on a live broadcast, as a surprise birthday
present to Annette, as she listened to the radio. There
have been some minor changes in the lyrics by Nāpua Stevens
Poire, since the song was originally composed. Pua Mana, is the Farden
family
home on Maui; Lele, the ancient name of Lahaina. Recorded
by Myra English, "Oh How I Miss You Tonight", Hula
