Ua mau ke ea o ka 'âina i ka pono 'o Hawai'i | |
Ua mau ke ea o ka 'âina i ka pono 'o Hawai'i | |
Ua mau ke ea o ka 'âina i ka pono 'o Hawai'i | |
Ua mau ke ea o ka 'âina i ka pono 'o Hawai'i | |
If just for a day our king and queen | |
Would visit all these islands and saw everything | |
How would they feel about the changes of our land | |
Could you just imagine if they were around | |
And saw highways on their sacred grounds | |
How would they feel about this modern city life? | |
Tears would come from each other's eyes | |
As they would stop to realize | |
That our people are in great, great danger now | |
How would they feel? | |
Would their smiles be content, then cry | |
Cry for the gods, cry for the people | |
Cry for the land that was taken away | |
And then yet you'll find, Hawai'i. | |
Could you just imagine they came back | |
And saw traffic lights and railroad tracks | |
How would they feel about this modern city life | |
Tears would come from each other's eyes | |
As they would stop to realize | |
That our land is in great, great danger now. | |
All the fighting that the King has done | |
To conquer all these islands, now these condominiums | |
How would he feel if he saw Hawai'i nei? | |
How would he feel? Would his smile be content, then cry? | |
Cry for the gods, cry for the people | |
Cry for the land that was taken away | |
And then yet you'll find, Hawai'i. | |
Ua mau ke ea o ka 'âina i ka pono 'o Hawai'i | |
Ua mau ke ea o ka 'âina i ka pono 'o Hawai'i |
Ua mau ke ea o ka ' ina i ka pono ' o Hawai' i | |
Ua mau ke ea o ka ' ina i ka pono ' o Hawai' i | |
Ua mau ke ea o ka ' ina i ka pono ' o Hawai' i | |
Ua mau ke ea o ka ' ina i ka pono ' o Hawai' i | |
