1. Aloha wale oe, Poli anuanu; Máeéle au I ke ánu, e. 2. He anu e ka ua, He anu e ka wai, Li’a kuu ili I ke anu, e. 3. Ina paha, Ooe a owau Ka i pu-kukú’i, I ke anu, e. He who would translate this love-lyric for the ear as well as for the mind finds himself handicapped by the limitations of our English speech—its scant supply of those orotund vowel sounds which flow forth with their full freight of breath in such words as _a-ló-ha_, _pó-li_, and _á-nu-á-nu_. These vocables belong to the very genius of the Hawaiian tongue. [Translation.] _Cold Breast_ 1. Love fain compels to greet thee, Breast so cold, so cold. Chilled, benumbed am I With the pinching cold. 2. How bitter cold the rainfall, Bitter cold the stream, Body all a-shiver, From the pinching cold. 3. Pray, what think you? What if you and I Should our arms enfold, Just to keep off the cold? The song next given, dating from a period only a few years subsequent, is of the same class and general character as Poli Anuanu. Both words and music are peculiarly Hawaiian, though one may easily detect the foreign influence that presided over the shaping of the melody. [Page 166] X—Song, Hua-hua’i Arranged by Mrs. YARNDLEY Moderato [Music:] _Huahua’i_ He aloha wau ia oe, I kau hana, hana pono; La’i ai ke kaunu me ia la, Hoapaapa i ke kino. _Chorus_: Kaua i ka huahua’i, E uhene la’i pili koolua, Pu-kuku’i aku i ke koekoe, Anu lipo i ka palai. [Page 167] [Translation.] _Outburst_ O my love goes out to thee, For thy goodness and thy kindness. Fancy kindles at that other, Stirs, with her arts, my blood. _Chorus:_ You and I, then, for an outburst! Sing the joy of love’s encounter, Join arms against the invading damp, Deep chill of embowering ferns.
