Lyrics Source: Auntie Maria mele.com - Miloli`i (fine twist or small swirling)
was a fishing village renowned for its sennit. May have been named for an
expert sennit twister who lived there.

`elima - five or five times. Hawaiian dictionary, Pukui/Elbert
The fifth day of February
Tears fell along the roadway
Bags and bundles held tightly
Tears fell along the roadway
The babies cry
Numbing to the body
Tell the refrain
A name song for Miloli`i
Russo
