Mokuola - Words & music by John K. Almeida

 
Ohaoha Mokuola, ku kilakila
He opua noke kai Pakipika
E ka moana kai nui akea
E lana mâlie kou mau ale
 
 
 
Ia `oe ika makani nui ikaika
E pa aheahe malie `oe
Kaulana Mokuola ua ike ia
Ua puka ike ao mâlamalama

Kulana hiehie ke ike aku
Ika nome ha`aheo ika ili kai
Ha`ina `ia mai ana ka puana
Ka hoku o ke kai Pakipika

Welcome to Mokuola, standing with pride
A fleecy cloud on the smooth seas
O thou great wide ocean
Let thy waves surge wtih gentleness

O thou mighty and powerful wind
Blow thou gently and softly
Famous is Mokuola to behold
Emerging into the shining day

Proud and spendid to behold
Advancing in triumph on the face of the waters
The story has now been told
Of Mokuola, the star of the Pacific Ocean
