Kaha’i ke alaula
The Source in the knowledge
Coming forward
Coming to me
You the sacred cliffs (of Kukuipua)
Kaha’i ke alaula
You the sacred cliffs
This mele calls all ancestors
(Your) Family knowledge comes forth to me
Infinite in the Light
This voice of love
Heaven’s infinite wisdom
Kaha’i ke alaula
Heaven’s wisdom embraced by Love
This mele calls all ancestors’
Knowledge into you
In this sacred mele
Kaha’i ke alaula
This mele calls all ancestors
For your song
Light onto your name
The voice of wisdom
In the sacred Light
(of) Everlasting love for you
Mahalo nui
