Makaha Sons Of Ni'ihau - Ke Alaula lyrics

E Kumuola, e ku'u tutu, Poha mai ka 'onohi 'ula, Wehi 'ia ke alaula, Mai ka mole, ke kikowaena, Ha'alulu ke kumu honua, Haku 'iku'i i ka' 'aina nei, Wehe 'ia ke alaula, Hoaka 'O Kamawaipolani, Hane'ene'e hele i kai. 'Oni me ka muliwai 'ola, Wehi 'ia ke alaula, Uhi pono i ke ea, Puana ke ha'ina, Ho'okukaulani i hei kapu, Wehe 'ia ke alaula, No nahanauna nei. Oh, Kumuola, My tutu, Burst with rays of fire, Opened a flaming pathway From the source, the center The foundation trembled, Echoed throughout the land Opened a stream of life Appeared Kamawaipolani Moving toward the sea, Onward like a living river Opened a seaward path Enveloped in lifes' breath The story is told, Restore this sacred domain Opened the path of life For the generations of this land
