Israel Kamakawiwo'ole Lyrics
"Kaho'olawe"

Ha'aheo wale ho'i 'oe
E Kaho'olawe 'ina kaulana
Ho'oheno ana oe
Me ka hinahina

E aloha i ke k a ka wai
I ka'i mai ua anu kua
A luna au
O Kaho'olawe

Ahuwale n pua hinahina
Lua'ole n hano a ka makani
O ke Kiu Ke'e ia
A'o n pali

Ha'ina 'ia mai
Ana ka puana
Nohona a mana'o mai
'O au e ke hoa

You are proud, indeed
Kaho'olawe, famous land
You are so cherished
With your hinahina

Enjoy the water
We seek shelter from the chilly rain
High
On Kaho'olawe

Abundant, the hinahina blossoms
Incomparable, the breeze that blows
The wind named Kiu Ke'e
Of the cliffs

Tell
The refrain
My thoughts return to my home
And my friends
