Lei Haliʻa
guitar chords lyrics
He ahu a'o Lanihuli
No ka noe o Nu'uanu
Nu'alia i ka pō'ai pali
I ka pā iki mai o ke Kona ē
He‘ohu i ka lei hali'a
‘Ala māpu i ke anuhea
Hea mai ike anuome
Moemoeā, moe mālie i ka poli ē
Luhiehu ka lau o ka palai
Pãpãlua i ke kilihuna
Kilihea ka liko ãhihi
Hîhîmanu, hihipe'a me ka maile ē
‘Auamo ‘o Konahuanui
I ke ao hãkumakuma
Kû māhiehie Kilohana
‘Auamo ‘o Konahuanui
I ke ao hãkumakuma
Kû māhiehie Kilohana
Ua pō i ke ‘ala hīnano ē
Lanihuli is laden like an altar
For the mists of Nu'uanu
Amassed there in the circle of cliffs
By the sultry buffeting of the Kona wind
Adorned with a le of fond recollection
A permeating fragrance that comes sweetly
Beckoning to me in the deep of the night
Dream, sleep gently, there in the heart
The fronds of palai are luxuriant
Doubly so in the fine misty rain
Bedewed are the young shoots of the ãhihi
Elegant, entwined in an abundance of maile
Konahuanui shoulders the burden
Lifting the dark, heavy clouds
That Kilohana, in its glory, may rise
Mantled in the heady fragrance of hînano
