Hi`ilawe
Hi`ilawe was probably written by Sam Li`a Kalainaina, Sr and Mrs. Kuakini
Translation - from Na Mele o Hawai`i Nei by Samuel H. Elbert and Noelani Mahoe
Kamaka ka ikena ia Hi`ilawe All eyes are on Hi`ilawe
I ka papa lohi mai a`o Maukele In the sparkling lowlands of Maukele
Pakele mai au i ka nui manu I escape all the birds
Hauwala`au nei puni Waipi`o Chattering everywhere in Waipi`o
A`ole no wau e loa`a mai I am not caught
A he uhiwai au no ke kuahiwi For I am the mist of the mountains
He hiwahiwa au no ka makua I am the darling of the parents
A he lei `a`i na ke kupuna And a lei for the necks of grandparents
Na Puna ke `ala i hali`ia mai The fragrance is wafted from Puna
Noho i ka wailele a`o Hi`ilawe And lives at Hi`ilawe
Ha`ina `ia mai ana ka puana Tell the refrain
Kamaka ka `ikena ia Hi`ilawe All eyes are on Hi`ilawe
