La 'Elima Lyrics

Hawaiian:

La elima o Pepeluali
Waimaka helele'i ke alanui
Penei pepe 'alala nei
He hu'i ma'e'ele kou nui kino

Paiki pu'olo pa'a i ka lima
Waimaka helele'i i ke alanui!

Penei pepe 'alala nei
He hu'i ma'e'ele kou nui kino
Ha'ina 'ia mai ana ka puana
He mele he inoa no Miloli'i

English:

The fifth day of February
Tears fell along the roadway
Bags and bundles held tightly
Tears fell along the roadway

The babies cry
Numbing to the body

Tell the refrain
A name song for Miloli'i
