Oli Mahalo

na Kēhau Smith

Ūhola ʻia ka makaloalā

Pūʻai i ke aloha ā

Kūkaʻi ʻia ka hā loa lā

Pāwehi mai nā lehua

Mai ka hoʻokuʻi a ka hālāwai lā

Mahalo e Nā Akua

Mahalo e nā kūpuna lā, ʻēa

Mahalo me ke aloha lā

Mahalo me ke aloha lā

The makaloa mat has been unfurled

In love, food was shared

The great breath has been exchanged

The lehua honors and adorns

From zenith to horizon

Gratitude and thanks to the Gods

Gratitude and thanks to our beloved ancesotrs

Gratitude, admiration, thanks, and love

To all who are present, both seen and unseen
