| No Maunalahilahi ka ke aloha Hoʻonipo mau nei i kuʻu puʻuwai Ahe waiwai nui ʻoe na mākou I ko hiki ana mai i kuʻu alo O ke alo kēia o ka lani Ke piha kuʻi nei i ke kanaka Noho aku mākou la hoʻolono O ka hone a ke kai i ka puʻu one Hauʻoli na kini lehulehu Ke pipiʻi nei e ka wai aniani Haʻina kou inoa o Keaka A he punahele ʻoe no mākou |
Affection for
Maunalahilahi Lingers in my heart You are a treasure to us As you approach my presence It is as if we are in the presence of royalty Where many gather often We sit here and listen to the sea As it murmurs to the sand mounds The gatherings here are full of joy As the crystal clear liquid bubbles This is my praise of Jack You are a beloved person to all of us |
