Song of the famous land of ‘Ailā‘au

He mele hanohano kēia ‘Āina ‘Ailā‘au. Ho‘omana‘o ka lua wai ‘ula‘ula i ‘auana ‘ia i ka ‘āina o Puna. Eia kahi kama‘āina i noho maka ‘āina la ‘o ‘Ailā‘au. ‘O ia ho‘i ka ‘āina ‘ailā‘au i pili maila ke ola o Pele. Kaulana kēia ‘āina malu o Kīlauea! Noa ē, Noa ala, Noa kū ka ‘Āina ē! Eō maila ‘o Ahu‘ailā‘au!

A song honoring the land of ‘Ailā‘au. Remembering the two reddish waters traveled to the land of Puna. A familiar child resident of this land, ‘Ailā‘au. Here the land of ‘Ailā‘au connected to the life of Pele. Famous land covered by Kīlauea! Freedom, Freedom, Stand free the land! Rejoice ‘Ailā‘au!

Honoring my intimate conversation with Kumu Piilani Kaawaloa and her relationship with our Heavenly Creator.
