Aloha Ka Manini Songtext
von Israel Kamakawiwoʻole

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 puanaTell the refrainAloha ka manini me ka pôpoloHail to the manini and pôpolo
