Lei ‘ia Mänoa i ta ua
‘O ka nani i ka mälie
Mea aroha, noho ana i ka la‘i
Eia nö kö aloha
‘Uhola mälie ka noe
Nihi ana i ka nähele
Mea aroha, noho ana i ka la‘i
Eia nö kö aloha
Häli‘i ka uakea iä Mänoa
Ho‘onani i laila i ka nähele
Mea aroha, noho ana i ka la‘i
Eia nö kö aloha
‘Elua taua i ka pilina
Ha‘ina mai ana ka puana
Mea aroha noho ana i ka la‘i
Eia nö kö aloha
Ha‘ina ia mai ka puana
‘O Mänoa i te ‘ähina wai
Mea aroha noho ana i ka la`i
Eia nö kö aloha
Translation:
Mänoa wears a lei of rain
Ever so calm in it’s beauty
Beloved one, who dwells in tranquility
Love for you is here
The mist slowly unfurls at Mänoa
Silently creeping through the forest
Beloved one, who dwells in tranquility
Love for you is here
The white misty rain covers Mänoa
Beautifying the woodlands there
Beloved one, who dwells in tranquility
Love for you is here
We two truly joined
The story is told
Mänoa wears a lei of rain
Love for you is here
The story is told
Mänoa is in the mist
Beloved one, who dwells in tranquility
Love for you is here
