Pili Aumoe
Kawaikapuokalani K. Hewett
Auhea ‘oe e ku‘u ipo
Ku‘u lei pïkake, ku‘u pili aumoe
Moe hulihuli i ka pö
‘O au ho‘okahi i alia iä ‘oe
He alia loa ho‘ohopo pu‘uwai
Ähea ‘oe e ano'i mai
Ano‘i aku au e ho‘onenea
I ka poli ‘a‘ala a o ku‘u pua
I puana ‘ia i ke aloha
Mai lohi mai ‘oe o pohö käua
Listen My Sweetheart
My lei of pïkake, my companion of the late night
Tossing and turning throughout the night
Waiting for you
This wait disappoints me
When will you begin to desire for me
I yearn to delight
With the fragrance of my blossom
It is said with affection
Don’t delay lest this moment be of no consequence
