Nā Puʻuwai Haokila

na Zachary Alaka'i Lum

 

Hoʻoheno no nā puʻuwai haokila

Nā kiaʻi mauna, moe i ke ala

 

Ua lawa i ka lei o ka lau koa

I paukū ʻia mai me ke ʻaʻaliʻi

 

ʻĪ mai nō ʻoe, "E hui lōkahi,

Ua maluhia aʻo Puʻu Huluhulu"

 

Nā hulu kūpuna, nā wiwo ʻole

ʻOliʻoli i nā mele aloha ʻāina

 

He aloha kūpaʻa ke luana nei

I ka mū o nā manu, ua malia

 

E huliāmahi mai e nā pua

I lei hoʻokahi o ka lanakila

 

Haʻina ka puana ua kaulana

Nā puʻuwai haokila, moe i ke ala

A dedication to the hearts of steel

The mountain protectors, lying safe in the road

All you need is your lei of koa

Beautifully adorned with 'a'ali'i

You tell us, "Come, be together,

Pu'u Huluhulu is safe"

The beloved kūpuna, fearless

Joyously singing songs of our 'āina

Steadfast aloha resides here

In the silence of the birds, it is calm

Come together, children of this land

Be of one lei: the lei of victory

Tell this story: the famous

Hearts of steel, lying safe in the road
