Kumulipo – Creation Chant

Translated by Martha Beckwith, 1951

‘O ke au i kahuli wela ka honua
‘O ke au i kahuli lole ka lani
‘O ke au i kū kaʻi aka ka lā
E hoʻomālamalama i ka malama
‘O ke au o Makaliʻi ka pō

‘O ke kumu o ka lipo, i lipo ai

Pō wale ho‘i
Hānau ka pō
Hānau Kumulipo i ka pō, he kāne
Hānau Pō‘ele i ka pō, he wahine
At the time when the earth became hot
At the time when heavens turned about
At the time when the sun was darkened
To cause the moon to shine
The time of the rise of the Pleiades (winter)
The slime, this was the source of the earth
The source of the darkness that made darkness
The source of night that made night
The intense darkness, the deep darkness
Darkness of the sun, Darkness of the night
Nothing but night
The night gave birth
Kumulipo was born in the night, a male
Pō‘ele was born in the night, a female

Oh god
Be kind to us who are afflicted with illness
Pardon our sins

Our faults of the heart
Our faults of speech
And our nonfulfillments of vows to thee
Look with favor upon us
Keep in health our bodies

Until we crawl
Until we creep
Until we walk bent over a staff
Until we are blinked eyed
Until our skin becomes wrinkled lauhala
Until the last trance vision
Keep us in health

And thus do we worship thee

This is a prayer to wash away all iniquity from the land
To ward off and end the contamination of the land
This is a prayer to end the mistakes done to all the land
So that the blight may be over and the mold

Leaves and vines

The son Kama, who is the turning point of the changing times
He turns his foes face down
He turns them to the imu
and the Maki‘ilohelohe ceremony is in effect
He does this until the Hulahula ceremony is complete
The edge of the upright stone is rolled into place
With his nets known as Ihuaniani
To his temple Niuolaniola‘a
Of Keawe who broke the kapu and ruled in sanctity
He who ruled and made the island subject to him
Stirred by the Kiuwelo wind in the summit

All Hawai’i Stand Together

na Liko Martin & Dennis Pavao

As I have traveled from place to place, some familiar and some strange
To hear the ancient chantings of our home,
As I’ve listened to the stories, my eyes have seen the glory,
So let us raise our voice in song to save our land

Chorus:
All Hawai‘i stands together, It is now and forever,
To raise your voices, and hold your banners high
We shall stand as a nation
To guide the destinies of our generations
To sing and praise the glories of our land

Within stone walls and cities of refuge, We learn the sacred ways
Upon Waipio’s valley floor the ancient battles rage
From the barren slopes of Kaho‘olawe to the shores of Kahana Bay
We shall claim our lands from the Barking Sands to the valleys of Hanalei

Chorus

From the fiery pit of Tūtū Pele, I hear my mother’s call
Old Tūtū Kāne and Mauna Kea send their love to all
To stand as one beneath the sun, blessings from Haleakalā
For our sweet Ka‘ala and Wai‘ale‘ale, Where the greatest waters fall

Chorus(2)(3-times):

Hawai‘i Loa, kū like kākou

It is for us, the descendants that are waiting
Arise o great ‘Ī clan, Mahi clan, Palena clan
Go forward and grasp the wreath of victory!

Kaulana Nā Pua

na Ellen Keho‘ohiwaokalani Wright Prendergast

Kaulana nā pua a‘o Hawai‘i
Kūpa‘a ma hope o ka ‘āina
Hiki mai ka ‘elele o ka loko ‘ino
Palapala ‘ānunu me ka pākaha

Pane mai Hawai‘i moku o Keawe
Kōkua nā Hono a‘o Pi‘ilani
Kāko‘o mai Kaua‘i o Mano
Pa‘apū me ke one Kākuhihewa

‘A‘ole a‘e kau i ka pūlima
Ma luna o ka pepa o ka ‘ēnemi
Ho‘ohui ‘āina kū‘ai hewa
I ka pono sivila a‘o ke kanaka

‘A‘ole mākou a‘e minamina
I ka pu‘u kālā o ke aupuni
Ua lawa mākou i ka pōhaku
I ka ‘ai kamaha‘o o ka ‘āina

Ma hope mākou o Lili‘ulani
A loa‘a ē ka pono o ka ‘āina
*(A kau hou ‘ia e ke kalaunu)
Ha‘ina ‘ia mai ana ka puana
Ka po‘e i aloha i ka ‘āina
*Alternate Stanza

Famous are the children of Hawai‘i
Ever loyal to the land
When the evil-hearted messenger comes
With his greedy document of extortion

Hawai‘i, land of Keawe answers
Pi‘ilani’s bays help
Mano’s Kaua‘i lends support
And so do the sands of Kākuhihewa

No one will fix a signature
To the paper of the enemy
With its sin of annexation
And sale of native civil rights

We do not value
The government’s sums of money
We are satisfied with the stones
Astonishing food of the land
We back Lili‘ulani
Who has won the rights of the land
*(She will be crowned again)
Tell the story
Of the people who love their land
*Alternate Stanza

Hawai‘i Aloha

Words by Rev. Lorenzo Lyons, Music by James McGranaham

E Hawai‘i e ku‘u one hānau ē
Ku‘u home kulāiwi nei
‘Oli nō au i nā pono lani ou
E Hawai‘i, aloha ē

Hui:
E hau‘oli e nā ‘ōpio o Hawai‘i nei
‘Oli ē! ‘Oli ē!
Mai nā aheahe makani e pā mai nei
Mau ke aloha no Hawai‘i

E Hawai‘i, aloha ē!

O Hawai‘i, o sands of my birth
My native home
I rejoice in the blessings of heaven
O Hawai‘i, aloha

Happy youth of Hawai‘i
Rejoice! Rejoice!
Gentle breezes blow
Love always for Hawai‘i

O Hawai‘i, aloha!

Look to your king
The royal ruler
The chief

Royal father

We shall defend
With spears

Hawai‘i’s own
Look to your chiefs
To the children after you
To the young

Hawai‘i’s own
To the nation
Your great duty
Is to prevail
