Pāpahi Lei Hoʻoheno - Manu Boyd 

Pāpahi lei hoʻoheno
O nā liko pua pīkake
I ka noe a ka ua liʻi
E iho mālie ana I ka laʻi
He ʻiʻini e honi ana
I ka lei i aloha ʻia
He ʻala kūpaoa
Na ke ahe i halia mai nei

Pau ʻole koʻu hoʻohihi
I ke ʻaʻaliʻi o uka
I pilia me ka palai
ʻAla anuhea o ka wao kele
Ua hele wale a nohea
Nani wale mai hoʻi kau
Pāpahi lei hoʻoheno
He kāhiko i nā kau a kau

Cherished lei
Of pīkake buds
In the mist of the light rain
Falling softly in the calm
A desire is realized to breathe in
This lei is so beloved
Whose perfume
Is carried forth on the breeze

Endless is my admiration
For the ʻaʻaliʻi of the uplands
Close companion of the palapalai fern
Cool and fragrant of the rain forest
Becoming attractive to my eyes
Beautiful indeed
These cherished adornments
Will endure from season to season
