Palai

Ma'ema'e wale ke kino o ka palai
Pulupe_ i ka ua li 'ili'i kilikilihune
A he wehi ia no_ ka uka o ka nahele
He moani ke 'ala i lawe 'ia mai,
Hu'ihu'i, konikoni e

So clean is the body of the fern
Wet in fine and gentle rain
Adornment of the forest upland
And the bearer of sweetness,
Coolness, and palpitations
