Pu`uanahulu - by David Alapai

 

Nani wale Pu`u Anahulu i ka `iu `iu
`Âina pali kaulana pu`u kinikini


Hui:
Lû `ia mai lû `ia mai kô `oukou aloha
E nâ manu `ô`ô hulu melemele


Ua helu `ia nâ pu`u o Anahulu
Kapa `ia ka inoa Pu`uanahulu


No ka betera nani a ke Akua
Kapa ka inoa ka lamakû i keola


Ha`ina `ia mai ana ka puana
Kaulana kou inoa Pu`uanahulu

Beautiful Pu`u Anahulu in its lofty realm
A land of cliffs famous for its many hills


Chorus:
Offer, give your love
Oh you `ô`ô birds with yellow feathers


The hills of Anahulu have been counted
And the name of Pu`uanahulu is given


For the beautiful house of God
Named the standing light of life



Tell the theme of the song
Famous is your name, Pu`uanahulu
