Pulupē Nei ʻIli I Ke Anu - Traditional
Uluwehi ka luna i Lanihuli Pulupē i ka nihi a ka ua Aʻo ʻoe aʻo wau i laila I ke onaona o ka nahele Hui: Pulupē nei ʻili i ke anu A he anu mea ʻole i ka manaʻo ʻO ka ʻike iā ʻoe e ke aloha Hoʻi pono ka ʻiʻini ia loko I laila liʻa ka manaʻo Pūkuʻi i ke anu o ka ua Kolonahe aʻe la i ka uka Me ke kēhau o ka nahele E maliu mai ʻoe e ke aloha Kuʻu dear love o ka pō laʻi Buenos once more e ke hoa Koʻu time huli hoʻi kāua	Beautiful is the growth on Lanihuli Drenched by the passing rain You and I were there Where the forest is ever fragrant   Chorus: Drenched is the skin with the cold A cold that I think nothing about Just to see you, my beloved Is all my heart desires   There was love and yearning Crouching with cold in the rain Swiftly passes the wind in the upland With the dew in the forest   Listen, my love My dear love of peaceful nights Good; once more, my darling, then Time for us to go back
Source: King's Hawaiian Melodies - Lanihuli, (high chief turning) is the highest peak at Nuʻuanu pali and often used in Hawaiian love songs to signify a high point in an affair or great joy in love-making. The use of foreign words, English and the Spanish "buenos", was a common practice in the older Hawaiian songs. Translated by Mary Pukui © 1916, 43 Charles E. King
