Pua Hone

(Pulama)
By: Dennis Kamakahi

 

O ‘oe ka wahine a ke aloha

You are the woman that I love

I laila i ka uluwehi                          

There in the lush verdure is

Ku‘u pua hone i ka la‘i

My honey flower in the calm

 

Honi ‘ana i ke hau o Makiki

Kissed by the dew of Makiki

‘O wau kou aloha i                         

I am your love

Ka noe kuahiwi

In the mountain mist

 

He u‘i no ‘oe i ke kula

You are a beauty on the plains

I wili ‘ia me ka

Entwined with the sacred

‘Ie‘ie o leilono

‘Ie’ie vine of Leilono

 

Ha‘ina mai ana ka puana

This ends my story

Ku‘u pua hone i ka la‘i

For my honey flower in the calm

He nani maoli no

A true beauty, indeed
