Nâ Limahana - Charles R. Lindsey Sr.

Aloha nâ kanaka e huli ana i ke ola
O nâ `âina like `ole
Puni ka honua
E ola no `oe a mau loa


Hui:
He inoa kêia
No nâ limahana
E luhi mau ana i kêia noho ana


Kou mau kalena ua kaulana
E ho`oi ae mau ana i na
`Ike a ke ao
A`i pono ho`i ia no ka lehulehu


Kaulana `oe Hawai`i a puni ka honua
I ka noho lokahi ana o ka lehulehu
A`e luhi like ana no ka
No ka pono o ka `âina


 Aloha to the men seeking a living
In the different lands
Around the world
May you live forever


Chorus:
This is a song dedicated
to the working hands
Always laboring for a liveihood


Your many talents are famous
Always improving in the knowledge
For the times
For the benefit of everyone


Hawai`i you are famous around the world
For everyone getting along together
And laboring equally
For the good of the island
