Lyrics Israel Kamakawiwo’ole – Lā ‘Elima

Text:

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

Penei pepe ‘alala nei
He hu’i ma’e’ele kou nui kino

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
