Aloha Ka Manini Lyrics

Aloha ka manini me ka pôpolo
Hail to the manini and pôpolo
He i`a noho ia i ka laupapa
Fish that live in the reef
Kala ka nenue `o ka nahawele
Kala and nenue mixed with nahawale seaweed
Moani ke `alake honi aku
The scent is inviting
Âhole ia`a piko lihliha
The belly of the ahole fish is rich and fat
Poi `uala kâohi pu`u
With sweet potato poi it slides down the throat

Ha`ina `ia mai ana ka puana
Tell the refrain
Aloha ka manini me ka pôpolo
Hail to the manini and pôpolo
