Lamalani (Heavely Light) - Sam Septimo

 
No Lamalani ke aloha
Ka wahine loko maika`i
Ke heahea ho`okipa
I nâ mailihini kipa aku
 
 
No Lamalani ka`anoi
Pua loke nani o Maui
He mahalo nui ko`u
I kou piha no`eau
 
 
No Lamalani ka mahalo
Mai makou aku nei
He pua hi`ilani `ia
Me ka nui ho`omaika`i
 
 
No Lamalani ka `i`ini
O nâ malihini kipa aku'
He lei mae `ole `oe
No ko`u one hanau
 
 
Ha`ina mai ka puana
No Lamalani ka wahine
Me `oe mau ke aloha
On nâ malihini kipa aku

 

For Lamalani, a greeting
The lady with a good heart
Calls hospitably
For guests to visit
 
 
For Lamalani, affection
Beautiful rose blossom of Maui
My great admiration
For your skillfulness
 
 
For Lamalani, gratitude
From all of us to you
A person praised
With great appreciation
 
 
For Lamalami, liking
Of the guests who visit there
You are a never-fading lei
Of my birthplace
 
 
Tell the story
For Lamalani, the lady
With you always, is aloha
For the guests who visit there
