Aia kēia mele i ka puke Lena Machado: Songbird of Hawaiʻi ma ka ʻaoʻao 83.
“[A] young woman discovers her love affair is over. All her sweetheart’s endearments and promises of “you are my one and only” end in infidelity.” (Lena Machado: Songbird of Hawaiʻi, pg. 81)
Uneune aku wau i kō pani puka ‘eā
Ua pa‘a mai loko i ka laka ‘ia ‘eā
Ki‘ei aku wau maka puka kī ‘eā
E honihoni ‘ia ana, kō ihu kapu ‘eā
Ha‘ina kāu hana ke aloha ‘ole ‘eā
E ho‘opulu a‘e nei i ku‘u lihilihi ‘eā
Ha‘ina kāu hana ke aloha ole ‘eā
I ka laka a pa‘a kauoha mai
