Ka Uluwehi O Ke Kai
(Pulama)
Ka Uluwehi O Ke Kai(Plants Of The Sea)Composed by: Edith Kanaka’ole He ho‘oheno kē ‘ike akuKe kai moana nui laNui ke aloha e hi‘ipoi neiMe ke ‘ala o ka līpoaSuch a delight to seeThe great big oceanSo familiar and very cherishedWith its fragrance of the līpoa He līpoa i pae i ke one Ke one hinuhinu laWela i ka lā kē hehi a‘e Mai mana‘o he pono keia! It is līpoa which washed ashoreOnto the shiny white sandHot from the heating sun as you step on itDon't think that this is fun Ho‘okohukohu e ka limu kohuKe kau i luna ō nā moku la‘O ia moku ‘ula la e hō‘Oni ana i ‘ōi ‘aneiHow enticing is the display of limu kohuAtop the rocksEnticing one to pick themAs they sway to and fro Ha‘ina mai ka puana Ka līpoa me ka limu kohuHoapili ‘oe me ka pāhe‘e‘Ānoni me ka līpalu Let the story be toldOf the līpoa and the limu kohuClose companions of the pāhe‘eIntermingled with the līpalu
