Nā Pua Koʻolau
Haku ʻia e Keawe Goodhue & Heuaʻolu Sai-Dudoit
Pūnana Leo o Koʻolaupoko
Eia nō mākou,
Nā pua Koʻolau,
Kupa o ka ʻāina kahua noʻeau,
Kuapapa ke aloha i Keana kai,
Kokokahi ka manaʻo e walea ai, “nā manu!”
Eia nō mākou, “pūnua!”
Nā pua Koʻolau, “ʻīnana!”
Kupa o ka ʻāina kahua noʻeau
Kau aʻela i ka hala pūʻō o ka makani,
Waiho paʻa ke kahua e ʻōlelo ai,
Eia nō mākou, “pūnua!”
Nā pua Koʻolau, “ʻīnana!”
Kupa o ka ʻāina kahua noʻeau- “Eia ko mākou
leo lā ē!”
Eia nō mākou, “pūnua!”
Nā pua Koʻolau, “ʻīnana!”
Kupa o ka ʻāina kahua noʻeau
Eia nō mākou, “pūnua!”
Nā pua Koʻolau, “ʻīnana!”
Kupa o ka ʻāina ke kahua noʻeau
Here we are,
The Koʻolau kids,
Born of this land, the foundation of our wisdom,
Aloha was established in Keana kai,
Where the birds played in harmony,
Here we are, “fledglings!”
The Koʻolau kids, “Juveniles!”
Born of this land, the foundation of our wisdom,
They took flight upon a passing gust of wind,
And were placed on the grounds where they
could speak freely,
Here we are, “fledglings!”
The Koʻolau kids, “Juveniles!”
Born of this land, the foundation of our wisdom – Here are our voices!
Here we are, “fledglings!”
The Koʻolau kids, “Juveniles!”
Born of this land, the foundation of our wisdom,
Here we are, “fledglings!”
The Koʻolau kids, “Juveniles!”
Born of this land, the foundation of our wisdom,
