Mele `Ohana


Words & Music by Damon Williams
Hawaiian Words by Charles Kaupu


Ke hapai nei ka leo i ku`u `ohana
Na ke aloha e kau ka lei i ku`u poli
Nau ku`u makana aloha
Ma keia `aina e pulama mai
I loko o ku`u na`au
Na ke akua e malama mau
Eia ku`u aloha ia `oukou
 
I lift my voice up to my family
Whose love I wear upon my chest
This is my gift of love for you
From the land that has nurtured me
It remains here in my heat
Cared forever by God
Here is my love for all of you
 
Na ke akua e malama mau
Eia ku`u aloha ia `oukou

私は声をあげる 私の家族へ
その愛は私の胸を飾るレイ
これは、あなたへの愛の贈り物
私をはぐくんだ土地から
今も私の心にのこる
神によって永遠に守られる
これが私の愛 あなた方すべてへの
