Nohili E - Muriel Amalu
Jan 1950
Hawaiian:
Noenoe mai ana iaʻu
I ke aloha ʻo ka mokihana
A he hana maʻa ʻole iaʻu
I ke aloha e hana nei
Hui:
Nohili e
E ke one kani
E ʻuhene nei
I ka poli
Wehiwehi Polihale
I ka lau ʻo ka pahapaha
I ka lele o ka ʻehukai
Pōhina lua i nā pali
Nani wale ka ʻikena
I ka wai koni i ka ʻili
I ka wai kaulana
Neia uka uluwehiwehi
....................
English translation:
A misty, foggy feeling comes to me
For the love of the mokihana
(This feeling) is unfamiliar to me
This love that is happening
Hui:
Nohili,
The barking Sands
A merry tune
For the heart
How festive is Polihale
With the lushness of pahapaha (seaweed)
Where the sea spray seems to leap
Like two mists that creep upon the cliffs
Always beautiful
Water that makes my skin tingle
This famous water
That comes from the lush mountains
