Hawaiian Mother's Lullaby - Words by Frances H. Gerber, music by Charles E. King
Ua luhi na maka o ku`u punahele
O ka wa ho`olu`olu nei
Ke `ala o na pua kai hiki mai
Ke holu nape nei ka lau o ka niu
Ho`olaka mai ka Makua lani nou
I na nani lua`ole kamaha`o
Pakele `oe mai na pôpilikia mai
A mâkou poli no ho`i `oe malu mau
O hiamoe a ku`u lei
Ma ka oli o ko mâmâ


 Tired are the eyes of my pet
It is time for him to rest
The fragrance of flowers is wafted here
The leaves of the coco palm sway
The heavenly Father has supplied for you
Wondrous beauty of every kind
Safe are you from all harm
And in my arms there is always peace
Sleep, my darling
In the arms of your mother
