Hoʻolono mai i kuʻu leo kuʻu kaumaha | Listen to my voice my
sadness My song whispers to you Through the leaves of the hau tree Listen to my voice my prayer May the life of the land be preserved Hawaiʻi Tears fall for you Like the rain and showers To mist the beautiful gardens at Maunahele O the sweetest and most fragrant flower Grows here in these gardens sacred to Liʻa Here is your lei o Liliʻulani Here is your lei o Liliʻulani Tell the story Of a never fading flower That grows at Maunahele And with this flower I weave my lei of promise And sing my song of everlasting hope Here is your lei o Lili`ulani Here is your lei o Lili`ulani |
