Aloha Tower - Clarence Kinney
Oheohe Aloha Tower aʻe kū nei Kilakila i ke awa aʻo Honolulu   ʻO ka ipu kukui e ʻānapanapa Kou mālamalama uʻi kelakela   Nāu e mālama aʻe helu pono I ka manawa pololei aʻo ke kaona ʻO kāu hana mau lā ʻo ka hoʻokipa ʻO nā malihini aʻe pōhai nei Haʻina ka puana me ka maluhia Oheohe Aloha Tower aʻe kū nei		Aloha Tower stands tall and majestic At the harbor of Honolulu   Your beacon light shines bright Beaming with a beautful glow   It's you that keeps a careful watch and Maintains the accurate time for the town   Your function is to welcome The visitors that gather here Here now the refrain with peace Aloha tower stands tall

The 4 clocks, each face 12 feet in diameter and facing different directions, were made of bronze and weighed 7 tons each. The beacon could be seen 20 miles out at sea. This was composed in 1928 to honor Aloha Tower. Translater unknown. Hawaiian Text edited by Puakea Nogelmeier
