Hanohano Ka Lei Pikake (Glorious Garland of Pikake)


Hanohano ka lei pïkake
Ke hoÿolale mai nei
He ÿiÿini nui koÿu
Näu e hoÿokö mai
I laila koÿu manaÿo
E pili aku me ÿoe
I ka poli pumehana.
Moani mai kou ÿala
A puïa o loko
ÿUpu aÿe kuÿu liÿa
E honi mau aku
I ka hanu anuhea
Pöniu au i ke onaona
I hoÿohihi ai ka manaÿo
Puana mai kuÿu liÿa
Ka ÿiÿini o loko
He ÿiÿini nui koÿu
Näu e hoÿoko mai
I laila koÿu manaÿo
E pili aku me ÿoe
I ka poli pumehana.

Translation:

Glorious garland of pïkake;
strongly stirring
a deep urge within
only you can satisfy.
My desire, is to be
adorned by you in
your loving embrace.
Your fragrance is borne,
Infusing my very being.
Welling up my desire,
to forever take in
you soft, cool,
and heady aroma
that I so desire.
Let my desire be known,
this yearning in me.
A deep urge within
only you can satisfy.
My desire is to be
adorned by you in
your loving embrace.

  • How can you not smile and be happy when you here this music, Thanks!

  • This song is about the beautiful flower Pikake (Jasmine) made into a beautiful lei.

    All of Keali'i's CD's contain lyrics in Hawai'ian and English. For lyrics to many songs go to huapala.com and enter the name of the song.

  • Love this song...one of my faves by Keali'i. <3 I'm hoping to go back to the Islands for a family reunion...can't wait. :)

  • Itʻs a beautiful song. Iʻd love to get the guitar/uke chords to it!

  • FRIDAY NIGHT CRANKS

  • @OooMami haha i know , i was reading it and was like "what ? ?" haha

  • @OooMami No more? There was never a y in the Hawaiian alphabet to begin with.

  • i appreciate you trying to share the lyrics but us Kanakas are shaking our heads... no more 'y' in our alphabet...

  • this is a nice calm song i like it! :) lol
