Pakalana - Ihilani Miller


Pakalana naʻu hoʻokahi ʻoe
Kou hanu ka uʻi liʻa nei lā

Hui:
E maliu mai kuʻu ipo
E maliu mai kuʻu ipo
E maliu mai

Haʻina mai poʻina ʻole
Kuʻu pua pakalana
Kuʻu pua anaʻe nei

Haʻina mai ana ka puana
Kuʻu pua kuʻu lei pakalana

You are my one and only
My beautiful one, my desired one

Chorus:
I heed the call, my sweetheart
I heed the call, my sweetheart
I heed the call

I won’t forget (you)
My blossom, pakalana
My blossom, your place in heaven is reserved

Tell the refrain
My blossom, my wreath pakalana
