Aia i Waikaloa Home ho`okipa malihini Pumehana me ke aloha I ka leo o ka makamaka A huli aku au mahalo
`O ka noe a ka ua kea
Ha`ina mai ka puana |
John Pi`ilani Watkins |
Here at Waikaloa Is the home that welcomes the newcomer With warmth and love And the voice of a dear friend I turn to admire
The gentle rainspray and the
white mist
