Ua mau ke ea o ka 'aina i ka pono 'o Hawaii
Ua mau ke ea o ka 'âina i ka pono 'o Hawaii
(The life of the land is perpetuated in righteousness)
How would they feel?
Would their smiles turn to tears, then why?
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 in it you'll find Hawaii
Cry for the gods, cry for the people
Cry for the land that was taken away
And in it you'll find Hawaii
How would he feel?
Would he smile, be content, then cry?
Cry for the gods, cry for the people
Cry for the land that was taken away
And in it you'll find Hawaii
Cry for the gods, cry for the people
Cry for the land that was taken away
And in it you'll find Hawaii
Ua mau ke ea o ka 'aina i ka pono 'o Hawaii
Ua mau ke ea o ka 'aina i ka pono 'o Hawaii
