♫ Ke Alaula ♪ (with lyrics) ~ Makaha Sons

~ KE ALAULA ~
E Kumuola, e ku'u tutu
Poha mai i 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 ka 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 life's breath

The story is told
Restore this sacred domain
Opened the path of life
For the generation of this land
~~
Ha'lau Na Mamoali'i O Ka' uiki with its kumu hula Namahana Kalama-Panui of Hana, Maui was the inspiration for this song.
"Ke Alaula," the dawning, is a new horizon, a new sunrise, a new ray of hope in the continuing legacy of the Makaha Sons - formerly known as, The Makaha Sons of Ni'ihau.
