E pakika kahi limu o Manu'akepa. I laila ho'i au i 'ike iho ai I ka hana hu'i konikoni i ka 'ili. Aloha kahi one o pua rose I ka ho'opá 'ia e ka hunakai. 'Akahi ho'i au a 'ike i ka nani. Hanohano Hanalei i ka ua nui. Kilakila kahi wai n? Molokama I ke kau 'ia mai ho'i e ka 'ohu. He 'ohu ho'i 'oe n? ka '?ina A Hanalei a'e ha'aheo nei. Kilohi i ka nani M?malahoa I ka ho'opá 'ia e ke káhau. 'Elua wale iho n? m?ua, I kolu i ka hone a ka 'ehu kai. |
Slippery the mosses of Manu'akepa; There I felt the great rain, Painful to the skin. I greet you, sands and roses, Drenched with sea spray. Never have I seen such beauty, Magnificent Hanalei with its heavy rains. Majestic streams of Molokama, Suspended in mist, You are the mists of this land, The pride of Hanalei. Behold the beauty of M?malahoa Peak, Drenched by the dew. Only we two are here With the sound of the sea spray. |
| This song was composed by Alfred Alohikea in the 1920's. Hanalei, on the island of Kaua'i is known for its "great rain which pains the skin" (I ka ua nui ho 'eha 'ili), which has averaged 476 inches a year, the heaviest in the world. |
