[Hawaiian] The Gift We Bring

Lyrics

[Intro]

Hmmmm...

Ma mua o ka wā kahiko,  
Ma mua o ke kai e hīmeni,  

Ua loaʻa iā mākou ka ahi,  
E huli i kēia manawa e hāʻawi aku...

[Verse 1]

He mau lima akamai,  
He mau naʻau hoʻoponopono,  
Nā wahi pouli e hoʻomālamalama,  
Nā mea hou e hoʻā.  

He aʻo i nā ʻōpio,  
He hoʻomaha i nā ʻelemakule,  
He ʻike e hoʻomālamalama,  
Maikaʻi ma mua o ke gula i ka lewa.  

He waiwai i loko o ke ola,  
He lapalapa i loko o ka ʻuhane,  
Nā ala e ʻokoʻa, akā ke aloha ka ulu lāʻau,  
He mea kupaianaha ka hoʻomanaʻo.  

[Pre-Chorus]

Malia paha e hele wale ana,  
Malia paha ʻaʻole e noho lōʻihi,  

Akā, ke aloha e waiho ana i ka waihoʻoluʻu,  
E alakaʻi ana i nā mea ʻē aʻe i kā lākou ala.  

[Chorus]

🌍 Hoʻokahi makana kākou i ke ola,  
He kukui e ʻā iā mākou.  

He manaʻo no ka lā ʻapōpō,  
He kumu no ke aloha.  

Lima i ka lima, e ala kākou,  
He mele i loko o kēlā me kēia naʻau.  

Ke hanu nei ka wā e hiki mai ana i loko o kākou,  
O kākou nā makana a kākou e lawe mai.  

[Verse 2]

He ʻakaʻaka e hoʻomaka i ka huakaʻi,  
He ʻōlelo e hoʻololi i ka wā e hiki mai ana,  
Nā haʻawina e hoʻololi i ka moʻolelo o ka lā ʻapōpō,  
He lima e hoʻopau i ka inaina.  

He hana aloha liʻiliʻi,  
E pālahalaha ana i ka lōʻihi,  
Nā ʻecho e ʻōlelo ʻole,  
Ma hope o ko kākou make ʻana.  

He moeʻuhane e ala hou,  
He makaʻu e hoʻokuʻu ʻia,  
E hoʻomālamalama ka honua,  
E hoʻokō i ka poʻe.  

[Pre-Chorus]

Nā hua i kanu ai i loko o nā mea ʻē aʻe,  
E ulu ana i waho o ko kākou ʻike,  

A ma kekahi lā ʻapōpō,  
E lilo ana i kukui hou.  

[Chorus]

🌍 Hoʻokahi makana kākou i ke ola,  
He kukui e ʻā iā mākou.  

He manaʻo no ka lā ʻapōpō,  
He kumu no ke aloha.  

Lima i ka lima, e ala kākou,  
He mele i loko o kēlā me kēia naʻau.  

Ke hanu nei ka wā e hiki mai ana i loko o kākou,  
O kākou nā makana a kākou e lawe mai.  

[Bridge]

E hāpai i kou leo,  
E alualu i kāu mau moeʻuhane,  
E kākoʻo i ka poʻe ʻē aʻe,  
E hōʻike iā lākou i kāu ʻike.  

ʻAʻohe ola i ʻole he manaʻo,  
ʻAʻohe ʻuhane i ʻole he waiwai,  

ʻO ka waiwai nui loa,  
ʻO ke aloha i waiho ʻia ma ka Honua.  

[Final Chorus]

🌍 Hoʻokahi makana kākou i ke ola,  
He kukui e ʻā iā mākou.  

He manaʻo no ka lā ʻapōpō,  
He kumu no ke aloha.  

Lima i ka lima, e ala kākou,  
He mele i loko o kēlā me kēia naʻau.  

Ke hanu nei ka wā e hiki mai ana i loko o kākou,  
Ke hanu nei ka wā e hiki mai ana i loko o kākou,  
Ke hanu nei ka wā e hiki mai ana i loko o kākou...  
O kākou nā makana a kākou e lawe mai.  

[Outro]

Hmmmm...

E hāʻawi aku...  
E hāʻawi aku i ka mālamalama...
