Waiānuenue - Poomaikelani

Nani Waiānuenue
Kilihune mai la i uka
Ia wai maka‘ika‘i
A Po‘omaikelani

Hui:
Lei aloha lei lehua lipo i ka wao
Onaona oia uka anuhea i ke ‘ala
He māpu ‘ala hu‘ihu‘i
Ho‘ala hiamoe
E ‘iniki mai ana ia‘u inā kāua e ke hoa

Nani Lanikealani Hale
Wehi i ka lehua
Ulu wehiwehi i nā pua
Onaona ‘oia home

Hanohano Kilohana i ka uka
Wehi i ka lehua
I lei kāhiko ia
No Po`omaikelani

Beautiful is Waiānuenue
With droplets of the uplands
That water visited
By Po‘omaikelani

Chorus:
Beloved lei, the dark lehua lei in the upland
Imbued with cool fragrance
Its cool fragrance wafting about
Awakening the sleeper
Pinching me, suggesting, “Let us go sweetheart

Beautiful is Lanikealani Hale
Adorned with the lehua
Flourishing with fragrant blossoms
Is that home

Charming Kilohana in the upland
Adorned with lehua
A lei to beautify
Poʻomaikelani
