| No Maunalahilahi ka ke aloha Ho`onipo mau nei i ku`u pu`uwai Ahe waiwai nui `oe na makou I ko hiki ana mai i ku`u alo O ke alo keia o ka lani Ke piha ku`i nei i ke kanaka Noho aku makou la ho`olono O ka hone a ke kai i ka pu`u one Hau`oli na kini lehulehu Ke pipi`i nei e ka wai aniani Ha`ina kou inoa o Keaka A he punahele `oe no makou | Affection for
Maunalahilahi Lingers in my heart You are a treasure to us As you approach my presence It is as if we are in the presence of royalty Where many gather often We sit here and listen to the sea As it murmurs to the sand mounds The gatherings here are full of joy As the crystal clear liquid bubbles This is my praise of Jack You are a beloved person to all of us |
