Does anybody know the words...

Know the words of the mele the keiki learn at Punana Leo o ka helu po (the phases of the moon)? Ua ninau au ia Hi'ia, aka, ua ha'i oia mai ia'u -- "Aale hiki ia'u ke mele i keia manawa -- ma ke kula wale no!" Lyrics and music go hand in hand, so I thought this ninau might be answerable here.

      Ae o ia ho'i. And for final measure, how does the mele of this go? How do we describe notes and measures here?

      'Ae 'o ia ho'i! kama'aina anei 'oe i keia? Hiki ke kakau mai?
      Muku nei, Muku ka malama
      Hilo nei, kau ka Hoaka...
      pehea i holo a'e?
      mahalo a nui!
      'Ohu (no Mahea)
