Lehua Mamo
lyrics by Kalikolīhau Hannahs
music by Kellen Paik
ʻAuhea wale ʻoe e ka wahine uʻi
Ka uʻi hoʻoheno i ka puʻuwai
ʻĪ mai ʻoe iaʻu he aloha kou
Aloha wale nō ma ka lehelehe
Lehelehe akamai kou i ka pelo
He aʻo naʻe i ka hoʻopunipuni
Kaʻapuni au a puni Hawaiʻi
ʻAʻohe lua e like me ʻoe
ʻO ʻoe ē ka ʻoi i kaʻu ʻike
Ka helu ʻekahi ma ka maʻalea
Haʻina ʻia mai ana ka puana
Nahesa maʻalea hoʻopunipuni

The yellow lehua blossom, the lehua mamo, is a beloved flower of Hawaiʻi. Flowers seen in mele are often a representation of a person close to the haku mele’s heart and this song is no exception. This is a love song that likens the lehua mamo to the object of affection. The favorite flower of lyric author, Lïhau Hannahs, the lehua mamo is not as commonly seen as the brilliant red lehua and perhaps because of its relative rarity, it is does not appear as frequently in mele. Lïhau wanted to recognize this beautiful flower and to forever memorialize her affection for it in song. She worked with partner Kellen Paik to create a melody that captures the sweet and endearing feelings that the flower stirs within when it’s seen.
