Hapa - Ka Uluwehi O Ke Kai lyrics

He ho'oheno ke ike aku Ke kai moana nui la Me ke ‘ala o ka lipoa He lipoa i pae i ke one Ke one hinuhinu la Wela i ka la ke hehi a‘e Mai mana‘o he pono keia! Ho‘okohukohu e ka limu kohu Ke kau i luna o na moku la ‘O ia maku ‘ula la e ho ‘Oni ana i ‘oi anei TRANSLATION The Plants of the Sea Such a delight it is to see The great big ocean So familiar and very cherished With its fragrance of the lipoa It is lipoa which washes ashore Onto the shiny white sand Hot from the heating sun as you step on it Don't think that this is fun! How enticing is the display of limu kohu Atop the rocks in the ocean Enticing one to pick them As they sway to and fro
