Ke 'ala ka'u i honi

Linda Dela Cruz, the stage name of Lillian Lealoha Keeawehu, was a master of singing in the ha'i style, the familiar yodel-like falsetto of traditional Hawaiian music.  Here she performs  Ke ʻala kaʻu i honi (usually translated as The Fragrance is Mine to Enjoy)  words by Keala Carter, music by Tom Carter, Jr.

The recording (whose original vintage I have been unable to unearth any information about) was compiled on a CD in 2007 by Hawaiian label HanaOla Records and was featured in a season 1 episode of The White Lotus.

The lyrics in Hawai'i:

Ke ʻala kaʻu i honi
Pōhai nā mokupuni
Hiki pū me ke aloha
I laila koʻu mahalo

Ka pua o ka mokihana
Onaona māpuna hanu
Aʻu i honi hoʻomau
Hui mai nei ke aloha

Kahi wai ʻo hoʻohila
Kēia wai kaulana
A ka manu e inu wai
Wehiwehi wale ʻia uka

Ka liko o ka palai
I wili pū ʻia me ka hala
Puana kuʻu lei i ke anu
Huli e ke ʻalo i Lanihuli

Mokihana

Extremely amateur (and possibly wrong) translation:

The fragrance 

that surrounds me 

Fills me with love

and gratitude.

The berry of the mokihana 

never ceases to

assault my senses,

telling me of love to come.

This water is modest;

That water is famous.

The bird that drinks the water

Endows the uplands with beauty.

The leaf of the fern

Woven tightly with hala

Releases a song into the coolness.

My love turns toward Lanihuli.
