I love this song, I have old recordings by Kamaka's Quartet but it's also on the Brozman/Kaapana duet CD.
I have been unable to find any lyrics for it after doing exhaustive web searches. Does anyone have a lead for me? Thank you.

I enjoy hearing this song, which has been done recently by Maunalua and Martin Pahinui.
The words are very simple, as far as I can tell.
"Ka lei e,
Ka lehua e,
Ka lei u'i, u'i
U'i, u'i e."
The words are repeated over and over substituting the different flowers of the islands: roselani, mokihana, ilima. The ha'ina is usually sung with "lehua" in the verse.
Of course, I could be waaaaay off.

Thank you, Jesse, looks right to me. This is a lovely song. I'll have to listen to the version you mentioned here.
