Kaualûlehuao`aikû - Words by Hailama Farden, Music by Irmgard `Âluli


He wehi kêia nou e ka lei
Kaualûlehuao`aikû


Hû a`e ka mana`o pua o Kohala
Laha ho`i ke aloha no Pololû


Lû a`e ka lehua a wili i ka lei
Lei ana nô `oe a kau po`ohiwi


E ô i kou inoa e Aunty Thelma
Kaualûlehuao`aikû

This is as an adornment for you to wear
Dear Kaualûlehuao`aikû


I fondly think of you, child of Kohala
Sharing much love from Pololû


Lehua which have been scattered, are formed into your lei
And you wear it proudly upon your shoulders

So answer to your name, Aunty Thelma
Kaualûlehuao`aikû
