He Mele No Kaminaka
by Kaipo Leopoldino
Aia i ke kula o Kalaepohaku nei
Ka home o na pua hinahina e
Welina ke aloha ia kakou
E kipa mai!
Aloha e, Aloha e, Aloha e
The school on Kalaepohaku
The home of the Silversword blossoms
You are all welcomed with love
Come in!
Welcome, welcome, welcome
Oli Mahalo
ʻUhola ʻia ka makaloa lā
Puʻai i ke aloha lā
Kū kaʻi ʻia ka hā loa lā
Pāwehi mai nā lehua
Mai ka hoʻokuʻi a ka hālāwai lā
Mahalo e Nā Akua
Mahalo e nā kūpuna lā, ʻeā
Mahalo me ke aloha lā
Mahalo me ke aloha lā
The makaloa mat has been unfurled
In love, (food is/was shared) we share
The great breath has been exchanged
Honored and adorned is the Lehua
From zenith to horizon
Gratitude and thanks to our Akua
Gratitude and thanks to our beloved ancestors
Gratitude, admiration, thanks, and love
To all who are present, both seen and unseen
Hoʻonani I Ka Makua Mau (Doxology)
by Rev. Hiram Bingham & Haunani Bernadino, Music by Louis Bourgeois
Hoʻonani ka Makua mau,
Ke Keiki me ka ʻUhane nō,
Ke Akua mau hoʻomaikaʻi pū,
Ko kēia ao, ko kēlā ao.
Kūnou haʻahaʻa ko ka honua
Nō uluuli o ke kai
Na ʻano lani kau hōkū
Nā nani o ka ʻōnaeao
ʻĀmene
Praise God from whom all blessing flow,
Praise Him all creatures here below,
Praise Him above ye heavenly host,
Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.
All the earth bows in tribute,
As do the riches of the sea,
The celestials among the stars
And the splendors of the universe.
Amen
