la 'elima

la elima o pepeluali

waimaka helele'i ke alanui

penei pepe 'alala nei

he hu'i ma'e'ele kou nui kino

paiki pu'olo pa'a i ka lima

waimaka helele'i i ke alanui!

penei pepe 'alala nei

he hu'i ma'e'ele kou nui kino

penei pepe 'alala nei

he hu'i ma'e'ele kou nui kino

penei pepe 'alala nei

he hu'i ma'e'ele kou nui kino

ha'ina 'ia mai ana ka puana

he mele he inoa no miloli'i

the fifth day of february

tears fell along the roadway

bags and bundles held tightly

tears fell along the roadway

the babies cry

numbing to the body

tell the refrain

a name song for miloli'i
