Ho'Oheno Keia No Beauty / Beauty Hula Text

---

Hoʻoheno kēia no beauty
Kuʻu hoa i ka ua Tuahine
ʻEāʻeā, ʻeāʻeā
Ka ua Tuahine
I laila hoʻi au a ʻike
I ka uʻi o ka pua miulana
ʻEāʻeā, ʻeāʻeā
Ka pua miulana
Kau nui aku kahi manaʻo
E inu ā kena ia wai
ʻEāʻeā, ʻeāʻeā
Ā kena ia wai
Nāu i hehikū ia kapu
Ia pua nani a ke kupuna
ʻEāʻeā, ʻeāʻeā
A ke kupuna
No Puna ke ʻala onaona
He ʻala hone i kuʻu poli
ʻEāʻeā, ʻeāʻeā
Hone i kuʻu poli
Hāʻina ʻia mai ka puana
Kuʻu ipo i ka ua Tuahine
ʻEāʻeā, ʻeāʻeā
Ka ua Tuahine

English:

This song is for the beautiful one
My companion in the Tuahine rain
Tralalala
The Tuahine rain
It is there that I saw
The beauty of the miu lan blossom
Tralalala
The miu lan blossom
A compelling thought comes to mind
To drink of this water until quenched
Tralalala
The water that quenches
You have defied the restrictions and sought
The prized blossom of the ancestors
Tralalala
Of the ancestors
From Puna comes the sweet fragrance
A scent softly nestled in my bosom
Tralalala
Softly nestled in my bosom
Tell the refrain
My sweetheart in the Tuahine rain
Tralalala
The Tuahine rain
