Hawai'i Aloha Beloved Hawaii O ne of the most beloved songs a traditional Hawaiian song of aloha was originally penned by The Reverend Lorenzo Lyons, 1807-1886, also known as Makua Laiana, was taken from an old hymn "I Left It All With Jesus" composed by James McGranahan (1840-1907).A local classic, it is sung together as a closing song at Hawaiian gatherings with the holding of hands with those adjacent, swaying with the music, and holding hands up high at the end to express our solidarity, common heritage, and our shared values of love for Hawaii, her land, and her people. |
E Hawai`i, e ku`u one hanau e O Hawaii, O sands of my birth Ku`u home kulaiwi nei My native home `Oli no au i na pono lani e I rejoice in the blessings of heaven E Hawai`i, aloha e O Hawaii, aloha Hui Chorus: E hau`oli na `opio o Hawai`i nei Happy youth of Hawaii `Oli e! `Oli e! Rejoice! Rejoice! Mai na aheahe makani e pa mai nei Gentle breezes blow Mau ke aloha, no Hawai`i Love always for Hawaii E ha`i mai kou mau kini lani e May your divine throngs speak Kou mau kupa aloha, e Hawai`i Your loving people, O Hawaii Na mea `olino kamaha`o no luna mai The holy light from above E Hawai`i, aloha e O Hawaii, aloha Na ke Akua e malama mai ia `oe God protects you Kou mau kualono aloha nei Your beloved ridges Kou mau kahawai `olinolino mau Your ever glistening streams Kou mau mala pua nani e Your beautiful flower gardens
