There’s nothing like traditional Hawaiian music for expressing flowery love. The emotional impact of the words is stronger than English, the sentiments more tender.

`Auhea iho nei o Leialoha

Ku`u hoa i ka nani a`o nâ pua

Eia mai au `o suipa lilo

Ka ipo i ke aka pua aniani

He aniani wale `o hâli`a loko

Nowelo mao `ole i ka pu`uwai

Nâ wai nô `oe e a pakele aku
I ka wai o ka pânini pua kea

Ha`ina `ia mai ana ka puana
Ku`u ipo i ka nani a`o nâ pua

John Almeida wrote those words, and their poetry is just haunting.
