Ka Pilina by Kawaikapuokalani K. Hewett

‘Ö‘io‘io ka ‘elepaio
I ke kulu o ke aumoe

The ‘elepaio chirps as midnight approaches

Kani a‘e ka ‘apapane
Me kona leo nahenahe

The ‘apapane sings with his beautiful voice

Lohe ‘ia i ke ao
He mele ko ka ‘i‘iwi pölena

Heard at dawn, a song of the ‘I‘iwi pölena

Eia a‘e ka wahine
Halihali ‘ia mai e nä manu

Now approaches the woman, attended by the birds

‘O ka pilina ä käua
‘O ka pilina ä käua

Our intimate union
Our intimate union
