Mele Hōʻihi No ʻEmalani

chant of praise for Emma

 

ʻAuhea wale ʻoe, e ka ʻōʻō

Manu leo nahe o ka uka

No uka ke ʻala ʻiliahi

Kāhiko i ka lau lāʻau

Naue mai ʻoe i ʻaneʻi

A kau i ke ano ahiahi

Huli hoʻi i Hānaiakamalama

Mālama ʻia iho ke aloha

I hoa pili no kō kino

Laʻi ai ka nohona o ke ao

Haʻina ka puana i lohe ʻia

Nālaniʻelua he inoa

メレ・ホーイヒ・ノ・エマラニ
