A Tribute to Moe Keale: Song Lyrics 

Maika`i Kaua`i Awaiâulu Ke Aloha
Kîhei de Silva  ~ Music: Moe Keale
Kihei de Silva

 

Maika`i Kaua`i
Awaiâulu ke Aloha.

Ho`onoho i Waineki
Kauhale o Limaloa.

A loa`a aku ia`u
Ka hâlau o Hanalei,

Aia ke ola i ka hana
I ke kû a `aha lua.

Lua`ole ka ulu hala
Hala o Naue `au i ke kai.

Môhala i ka wai `olu
Ka maka o ka pua.

He inoa no Pauahi.
He inoa no Pauahi.
He inoa no Pauahi.
He inoa no Pauahi.

Beautiful is Kaua`i
Where love is made fast.

Set in order at Waineki
Are the house of Limaloa.

When I reach
The long-house of Hanalei,

I find life in work
In partnership.

Unequaled is the hala grove
Hala of Naue reaching the sea.

Unfolded in the cool water
Are the flower's faces.

A name-song for Pauahi.
A name-song for Pauahi. 
A name-song for Pauahi. 
A name-song for Pauahi.
