For A Peaceful World - Irmgard Aluli


Ho`olono i ka leo he leo pule e
Ho`olono pu`uwai i pulama `uhane
Ho`olono i ke kani i lohe `ia mele
I punia e i ka honua nani e


Hapai i ka leo, a me ka pule
Ho`olu`oli ka na`au, a ho`oikaika ka `uhane
E ho`ohui i na leo, me na mele hau`oli
`Ohi `ia a pau, no ka honua maluhia

Listen to a voice and you hear a prayer
Listen to a heart and you find a soul
Listen to a sound and you hear a song
All this for a beautiful world


Let us lift the voice to offer a prayer
Let us soothe the heart and strengthen the soul
Let us blend the sounds into lovely songs
All this for a peaceful world
