Ke Alaula - Makaha Sons

Album: Ke Alaula (Lyrics ▼)

E Kumuola, e ku'u tutu,
Poha mai ka 'onohi 'ula,
Wehe '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,
Wehe 'ia ke alaula,
Uhi pono i ke ea,

Puana ke ha'ina,
Ho'okukaulani i hei kapu,
Wehe 'ia ke alaula,
No nahanauna nei.

( ▼ English Translation ▼ )

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
