He Mele No Nuʻuanu
Haku ʻia e Dane Fujiwara & Kahanuola Solatorio
Pūnana Leo o Nuʻuanu
He aloha Nuʻuanu i ka laʻi ē
Laʻi wale ka nohona o ka ʻāina
ʻĀina uluwehi i ke Kiowao
Waoakua i ka uka o Lanihuli
Hulili nā pua i ka pūnana
Pūlama ke aloha i ka mālama
Lama mai ka ʻike kupuna ē
Kupu aʻe nā kani a ka manu ē
Puana ʻia mai ke aloha ē
He aloha Nuʻuanu i ka laʻi ē
Hui:
Eia hoʻi kuʻu leo aloha
He lei poina ʻole no nā kau a kau
He aloha Nuʻuanu i ka laʻi ē
Beloved is Nuʻuanu in the calm
The land of tranquility and peace
The verdant land in the Kiowao rain
To the waoakua in the uplands of Lanihuli
Sparkling are the keiki in the nest
Love is cherished in the (space) of preservation
Ancestral knowledge is shined upon
The melodious sounds of the birds grows
Love is encompassed
Beloved of Nuʻuanu in the calm
Chorus:
Here are our voices of aloha
A child never forgotten in the days to come
Beloved is Nuʻuanu in the calm
