ʻUʻina Loko (Nolupe)
- Namoolau & Peters |

Kuʻu pua hanu ʻala ʻoiala Kolonahe o ka ahiahi Heʻawihi ana liʻa loko Hoʻonanea ana ahi o mākia No lupē ka haliʻa ua liʻa loko Hapahapai ʻiʻini ko ka ʻaneʻi A he aka kau e ka lipoa E honehone nei i ka ʻiʻi ʻa loko |
She is my fragrant flower Whose perfume is wafted at eventide A wink and love starts within And the time is whiled away in courting The yearning increases, love has begun The desire is raised and grown What are you up to, o lipoa seaweed Wooing to increase the desire in my heart |
