Hawaiʻi's own true sons

Be loyal to your chief

Your country's liege and lord

The chief

Chorus:

Royal father

Kamehameha

Shall defend in war

With spears

Hawaiʻi`s own true sons

Look to your chief

Those chiefs of younger birth

Younger descent

Hawaiʻi`s own true sons

People of loyal heart

The only duty lies

List and abide

Hawai`i aloha

Lyrics by Rev. Lorenzo Lyons, Music by James McGranahan

E Hawaiʻi e kuʻu one hānau e

E haʻi mai kou mau kini lani e 
Kou mau kupa aloha, e Hawaiʻi 
Nā mea ʻōlino kamahaʻo no luna mai 
E Hawaiʻi aloha ē

O Hawaiʻi, aloha

Chorus: 
Happy youth of Hawaiʻi
Rejoice! Rejoice!
Gentle breezes blow

May your divine throngs speak
Your loving people, o Hawaiʻi

God protects you
Your beloved ridges
Your ever glistening streams
Your beautiful gardens

Oli Mahalo  

Na Kehau Smith

Uhola `ia ka makaloa lā

Pū`ai ke aloha lā

Kūka`i `ia ka hā loa lā

Pāwehi mai nā Lehua

Mai ka ho`oku`i a ka hālāwai lā

Mahalo e nā akua

Mahalo e nā kupuna lā `ea

Mahalo me ke aloha lā

Mahalo me ke aloha lā

The makaloa mat has been unfurled
In love, (food is/was shared) we share
The great breath has been exchanged
Honored and adorned is the Lehua
From zenith to horizon
Gratitude and thanks to our Akua
Gratitude and thanks to our beloved ancestors
Gratitude, admiration, thanks, and love
To all who are present, both seen and unseen

Ke Kau aloha

(Oli Mahalo)  

Aunty Nani Na`ope- 2019

Ke kau aloha wale maila ka ua, ē

Ka Mauna o ka haliū kua, ā

I kū (au a) aloha me ka mahalo,

Aloha, aloha, ē

Kindly falls the rain from heaven;

Now may I turn my back and travel

(Travel-girt) I bid farewell with gratitude;

Hereʻs a farewell greeting.

Ku’u Home I Keaukaha  

Na Albert Nahale`a

`Ike `ia i ka nani, `o Keaukaha
`Āina ho`opulapula, no nā Hawai`i.
Home uluwehiwehi, i ka ulu hala.
He nohea i ka maka o ka lehulehu.

He makana kēia, mai ke ali`i
Nou e nā kinipua, no nā Hawai`i.
Mālama pono iho, a he waiwai nui.
`O ke ola nō `ia, ka pu`uhonua.
.
Mahalo iā `oe, e ke ali`i
`O Kalaniana`ole nō kou inoa
E hana like kākou me ke aloha
I mau ke ea o ka `āina i ka pono
Imau ke ea o ka `āina i kapono

Well known in the beauty of Keaukaha
Is the homestead land for the Hawaiians
Verdant home in thehala groves
Admirable in the eyes of the people

This is a gift from the Chief
For you, the many descendants, the Hawaiians
Take good care, this is a great treasure
It is life, a place of refuge

Thanks goes to you, Chief
Kalaniana`ole indeed, is your name
Let us all work together with love
So that the life of the land will be
perpetuated in righteousness.
