Mele Hawaiʻi

Nā Mele o ka ʻĀina

Ke kamaʻilio nei ke kai i ka leo mālie a me ka leo nui. Kū maikaʻi nā kuahiwi e like me nā hōʻike kahiko.

E hoʻomaikaʻi i ke aloha a me ka naʻauao o nā moku.

Ke Kai

ʻAʻole wikiwiki ke kai, Akā, hiki mai nā mea a pau i kona manawa pono. Nalu ma hope o nalu, Aʻo mai iā mākou i ka hoʻomanawanui. ʻAʻole hakakā ke kai me ke kahakai, Hoʻopaʻa aku, hoʻihoi mai, a hoʻi hou mai. Ma kēia hula o ka hāʻawi a me ka lawe, Aʻo mākou i ke aloha. E hoʻolohe i nā nalu i ke kakahiaka, Mele like lākou me kou puʻuwai: Hoʻokahi mākou a pau, E kahe pū ana i ka moana pau ʻole.
English Translation:
The ocean does not hurry, yet everything arrives in its right time. Wave after wave, teaching us patience. The ocean does not fight the shore, it embraces, retreats, and returns again. In this dance of giving and taking, we learn aloha. Listen to the waves at dawn, they sing like your heartbeat: We are all one, flowing together toward the endless ocean.

Nā Kuahiwi

Kū mālie nā kuahiwi, ʻAʻole no ka mea, ʻaʻohe āna mea e ʻōlelo ai, Akā, no ka mea, kamaʻilio lākou i ka ʻōlelo Kahiko aʻe ma mua o nā huaʻōlelo. Aʻo mai lākou iā mākou i ka ikaika me ke akahai, Ke kū nei me ka haʻahaʻa ʻana. E kū kiʻekiʻe i ka wā e holo ana nā ao ma waena o mākou, E paʻa nā aʻa i ka wā e hōʻeaʻea ana i ka lani. I ka wā e hiki mai ai ka ino, ʻaʻole lākou e holo. I ka wā e ʻōlinolino ai ka lā, ʻaʻole lākou e hoʻokiʻekiʻe. Ke noho nei lākou, nani a haʻahaʻa, E hoʻomanaʻo mai ana iā mākou.
English Translation:
The mountains stand in silence, not because they have nothing to say, but because they speak in a language older than words. They teach us strength with humility, standing tall with grace. To stand firm while clouds pass through us, roots deep while reaching for sky. When storms come, they do not flee. When the sun shines, they do not boast. They simply are, beautiful and humble, reminding us.

Ke Aloha

ʻAʻole wale nō ke aloha he aloha, He ala ia o ke ola ʻana ma ka honua. E ʻike i ka mana loa ma nā kānaka a pau, E hoʻomaikaʻi i ka mea kapu ma nā mea ola a pau. ʻO ke aloha ka hāʻawi pū ʻana i ka hanu, E ʻike ana, ʻo ka ea āu e hanu aku ai Lilo ia i ka ea aʻu e hanu ai, Ua hili pū mākou i nā wā a pau. Ke ola nei me ke aloha, E hele mālie ma ka honua, E kamaʻilio me ke aloha i nā mea ola a pau, E hoʻomanaʻo: He ʻohana mākou, Nā keiki a pau o ka moana hoʻokahi, I hoʻomaikaʻi ʻia e ka lā hoʻokahi.
English Translation:
Aloha is not just a greeting, it is a way of living on earth. To see the divine power in all people, to honor the sacred in all living things. Aloha is sharing breath together, recognizing that the air you breathe out becomes the air I breathe in, we are forever intertwined. Living with aloha, walk gently on the earth, speak with love to all living things, remember: We are family, all children of one ocean, blessed by one sun.

Naʻauao o ka ʻĀina

Aʻo mai nā moku iā mākou: ʻAʻole mākou he mea ʻēʻē mai ka honua - ʻo mākou ka honua. Kahe ke kai ma nā aʻa. Noho nā kuahiwi ma nā iwi. Lawe ka makani i nā pule.

E hoʻomanaʻo mau: Aloha ʻāina - ʻO ke aloha no ka ʻāina ka ola iā ia iho.
