Hanohano Ka Lei Pikake (Glorious Garland of Pikake)
Hanohano ka lei pīkake
Ke ho'olale mai nei
He 'i'ini nui ko'u nāu e ho'okō mai
I laila ko'u mana'o
E pili aku me 'oe
I ka poli pumehana
Moani mai kou 'ala
A puīa o loko
'Upu a'e ku'u li'a e honi mau aku
I ka hanu anuhea
Ko niu au o ke onaona
I ho'ohihi ai ka mana'o
Puana mai ku'u li'a
Ka 'i'ini o loko
He 'i'ini nui ko'u nāu e ho'okō mai
I laila ko'u mana'o
E pili aku me 'oe
I ka poli pumehana
Translation:
Glorious garland of pïkake;
strongly stirring
a deep urge within
only you can satisfy.
My desire, is to be
adorned by you in
your loving embrace.
Your fragrance is borne,
Infusing my very being.
Welling up my desire,
to forever take in
you soft, cool,
and heady aroma
that I so desire.
Let my desire be known,
this yearning in me.
A deep urge within
only you can satisfy.
My desire is to be
adorned by you in
your loving embrace.
