KA ULUWEHI O KE KAI      He ho‘oheno ke ike aku   Ke kai moana nui la   Nui ke aloha e hi‘ipoi nei   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         TRANSLATION:   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
