A Tribute to Moe Keale: Song Lyrics 

He Punahele No `Oe
Albert Nahale`a

He punahele no 'oe
Na ka makua
Pulama 'ia no 'oe
Me ke Aloha
 
He wahine u'i
A he pua nani
Ma ku'u poli mai 'oe
Ku'u lei 
 
You are a beautiful baby
Pride of my heart
You are a dear little lady
Right from the start 
 
You're so sweet and lovely
Like a pretty flower
Close to my bosom I'll hold you
Baby mine

You are a favorite
Of your parents
Cherished
with love 
 
A pretty young girl
Like a beautiful flower
Upon my bosom you are
My lei
