He ho'oheno ke ike aku | |
Ke kai moana nui la | |
Me ke ‘ala o ka lipoa | |
He lipoa i pae i ke one | |
Ke one hinuhinu la | |
Wela i ka la ke hehi a‘e | |
Mai mana‘o he pono keia! | |
Ho‘okohukohu e ka limu kohu | |
Ke kau i luna o na moku la | |
‘O ia maku ‘ula la e ho | |
‘Oni ana i ‘oi anei | |

The Plants of the Sea | |
Such a delight it is to see | |
The great big ocean, | |
So familiar and very cherished | |
With its fragrance of the lipoa | |
It is lipoa which washes ashore | |
Onto the shiny white sand | |
Hot from the heating sun as you step on it | |
Don't think that this is fun! | |
How enticing is the display of limu kohu | |
Atop the rocks in the ocean, | |
Enticing one to pick them | |
As they sway to and fro |
