Me ʻoe ka ʻanoʻi e ka ʻāhihi, ka lei milikaʻa a kaʻu aloha

Me ʻoe ka ʻanoʻi e ka ʻāhihi, ka lei milikaʻa a kaʻu aloha

ʻIke maka i ka nani o u- ka, ka lehua i milia e ka ua noe

ʻIke maka i ka nani o u- ka, ka lehua i milia e ka ua noe

He welina na kealoha e hoʻonipo nei, e hōʻoni nei ia loko a ka puʻuwai

Kuʻu lei kuʻu pua nani mae ʻo- le, nohenohea i ka maka a ka ipo

E hoʻolale mai ana e naue aku, e kui a lei i ko aloha makamae

Haʻina ʻia mai ana kapuana, ka lehua i milia e ka ua noe

Haʻina ʻia mai ana kapuana, ka lehua i milia e ka ua noe

Haʻina ka puana no kuʻu lei, ka pua ʻāhihi aʻo Lanihuli

Haʻina ka puana no kuʻu lei, ka pua ʻāhihi aʻo Lanihuli

Pua ʻĀhihi - Words by Mary Kawena Pukui, Music by Maddy Lam With you is my desire, o ʻāhihi The lei caressed over and over by my love The story is told for my lei The ʻāhihi blossom of Lanihuli Maddy Lam composed this song for Kahauanu Lake, as a gift to Maiki Aiu. This was first danced by April Peeples Chock and presented as a hoʻokupu to Maiki. She loved the mele and it became the signature song of her halau. This mele compares a sweetheart to the beautiful ʻāhihi blossom. The ʻāhihi, a low spreading shrub-like bush with a twisted trunk (Metrosiderous) is a form of lehua. Lanihuli is the peak west of the Nuʻuanu pali gap where the ʻāhihi grows profusely.
