E ala e

Ka la i kahikina

I ka moana

Pi’i ka lewa

Ka lewa nu’u

I kahikina 

Aia ka la.

E ala e!

Awaken/Arise

The sun in the east

From the ocean

The ocean deep

Climbing (to) the heaven

The heaven highest

In the east

There is the sun

Awaken!

 

The Star Spangled Banner

By Francis Scott Key - 1814

 

 Oh, say can you see by the dawn's early light

What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming?

Whose broad stripes and bright stars thru the perilous fight,

O'er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming?

And the rocket's red glare, the bombs bursting in air,

Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there.

 Oh, say does that star-spangled banner yet wave

O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave.

ʻOli ē! ʻOli ē! 

Mai nā aheahe makani e pā mai nei 

Mau ke aloha, no Hawaiʻi
