Meet the artist: Hi`ilei Mano`i-Hyde
O oe ia e kuu lei
He lei i ka pahapaha o Polihale
He milimili na Kauai o Mano la
Ka wahine i ka poli o ka mokihana
Kuu wahine i ka nuu o Waialeale
Ma ka meha kapu o Kawaikini
Kapu ke aloha, hiehie wale la
Kuu wahine me ka makani Waiolohia
O oe ia e kuu lei
He lei papahi na ke onaona
He maluhia ko aloha haaheo
Na wahine halia o loko lilo nei

Mahalo for sharing your gift. You have written a beautiful mele.
Aloha,

Mahalo i ka mele nani loa.
Aloha no. Pehea kou mama? Pehea kou papa? Pehea ‘o Tutu Gladys, ua maika’i anei? A, pehea ‘o Tutu Hiram? E Hi’ilei, mahalo nui loa i kau mele nani loa.
‘O.H. e ha’i i kou makuahine, “e leka mai!”
aloha no, -Kalani
