`Ekolu mea nui ma ka honua
`O ka mana`o `i`o ka mana`o lana
A me ke aloha ke aloha ka i `oi a`e
Pômaika`i nâ mea âpau
Pômaika`i nâ mea âpau
E nâ mâkua nâ keiki
Nâ mamo a Iuda me `Epelaima
E pa`a ka mana`o i ka pono i `oi a`e
Pômaika`i nâ mea apau
Pômaika`i nâ mea apau

Three important things in the
world
Faith, hope
And love, love is the
best
And everything is
blessed
And everything is
blessed
Oh parents, children
Descendants of Judah and
Ephraim
Think always that righteousness
is best
And everything is
blessed
And everything is
blessed
