Liliʻi Mokihana (Tiny Mokihana) - Traditional

E maliu mai ʻoe e ke aloha
E liliʻi mokihana i kanuʻu
E hea e kipa ka ʻanoi
Me ia pōhai anuhea

Hui:
Liʻa au i ka laʻi pohina
Ilihia i ka wai mapuna
Ka waiho kāhele i ka laʻi
Pōniuniu ʻailana lana ka manaʻo

 Hearken to me, o beloved
Tiny mokihana up so high
Call and invite love to come in
With that loving friendly association

Chorus:
I yearn for the misty calm
Am thrilled by the water of a spring
Stretched before me in the calm
It buoys my thought
