Wailele O Akaka   Akaka Falls

Melody - Helen Parker

Helen Parker
Malihini ku'u 'ike 'ana
Kahi wailele o 'Akaka
Kau mai la iluna
Lele hunehune mai la i na pali
Lele hunehune mai la i na pali
  As a stranger, I saw
The waterfall of Akaka
From high above
The water flows gently down the cliff
The water flows gently down the cliff

Akaka Falls is about 14 miles north of Hilo on the Big Island of Hawaii. According to the legend, Akaka fell to his death from the 442 foot falls which bears his name. His two lovers, Lehua and Maile could not stop crying and became two smaller waterfalls in a nearby ravine.
