Keli"˜i sings:
E ku"˜u aloha e,
Auhea la "˜oe
...Pu "˜olo waimaka a ke aloha
(Translation)
My beloved, I am calling to you,
Have you really gone away?
...Your love brings tears to the eyes
Charles chants:
Eo e Namahanaikaleleokalani...auhea "˜oe?
O"˜oe ke lei hie a na kupuna,
Ka puna a Mauna "˜Ala,
Auwe ke aloha e...auwe!
Nau no teia himeni no na mea
i ha"˜awi mai ia matou!
Ka "˜ike, ka mana"˜o i"˜o, ka mana"˜o lana,
a kou aloha nui!
Aloha no...Aloha no...Aloha no...
(Translation)
I call out to you Namahanaikeleleokalani...
where have you gone?
You are the cherished lei of the kupuna,
A spring at Mauna "˜Ala,
Alas our love has gone...
This song is yours alone for all you have given us!
Your insight, your faith, your goodness,
and your great love!
Our love to you...
