(My Pearl Lei) - Samuel K. Halstead

Aia i Ka`ena ku`u lei momi
I ka ho`opulu `ia i ka ehukai

Kou maka onaona ka`u i aloha
Kou leo kani hone hone i ke kula

Akahi ho`i au ke `ike maka
Ka ukana lu`ulu`u a ke aloha
(Kou kino palupalu ka`u i aloha)

Ho`ona ae ana i ke aloha
Ka pilina o ke kula Lauhulu

Me he lei hulu mamo e lei ke aloha
A ka pu`uwai a e malama nei

Malama pono oe e ipo aloha
I ka puni kauoha a kaua

Uluhua wale au i ke kaiuli
I ka makani kaulana ao Waianae

Nana e kaomi malie nei
Me ka malu launiu o Pokai

Ka hone a ke kai o Pu`uloa
Me he ala o ku`u aloha kekahi

Hea aku no au o mai oe
O ka ua koko ula ku kamahao

A hiki i ke kula o Moanalua
Ho`ohihi na maka ke ike aku

Ke hoi nei au no ke kaona
E hui me ka liko pua ahihi

Ha`ina `ia mai ana ka puana
Aia i Ka`ena ku`u lei momi
(Ko leo kani hone,hone i ka pu`uwai) Traduction:
 There at Ka`ena is my pearl lei
 Moistened by the spray of the sea

 Your gentle sweet eyes are mine to love
 Your sweet voice heard on the plains

 The first time I laid eyes on you
 Love overwhelmed and burdened me
 *(Your soft body is what I really love)

Tell the refrain
 There at Ka`ena is my pearl lei
 (Your soft voice sounds sweetly on the plains)
Source: Copyright 1917, McKee Collection, Glen Kila, Nathan Napoka -Known as Ka`ena, the title of this mele is Ku`u Lei Momi. Ka`ena, the remote western point of O`ahu may have been named after an ancient O`ahu chief killed by Haupu, the Kaua`i giant. The original name was Kalae O Kala`au and is also the site of Leina O Ka `Uhane, a flat boulder where souls jumped from the earth to the spirit world.
