The only duty lies
List and abide

Oli Mahalo
Na Kehau Smith
Uhola `ia ka makaloa 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 beloved ancestors
Gratitude, admiration, thanks, and love
To all who are present, both seen and unseen

Take good care, this is a great treasure
It is life, a place of refuge
Thanks goes to you, Chief

So that the life of the land will be
perpetuated in righteousness.
