Ode to a House
Ka Haku Mele • 3m 38s
Welo Piʻiholo i ka ʻUlalena
Hālena palaʻehu i ka lehua
Hū aʻe ke aloha ke ʻike aku
I ka nani kau mai i luna
Hui
Aloha ē, aloha ʻoe
Kuʻu home ʻalo ehu ē
E ola ē, e ola mau
Kuʻu home kuahiwi ē
Ua laʻi ka nohona i ke anu
Hānuʻanuʻa i ka haliʻa
A piʻo mau ke ānuenue
I ka maka o ka ʻōpua
E lei ʻoe i kuʻu aloha
Puīa i ke ʻala o ka maile
Naʻu ʻoe a mau loa
Kīpona mau i ka puʻuwai

English Translation:
Piʻiholo flutters in the ʻUlalena wind
Spreading red and yellow hues on the lehua
My aloha wells up at the sight
Of the beauty placed above
Hui
Aloha, aloha to you
My home of protection
Live, live long
My home of the mountain
Life is made enjoyable by the chill
Piled up with fond memories
The rainbow arches above
In the face of the clouds
Wear my aloha as your lei
Imbued with the scent of maile
You are mine forever
Forever intense in my heart
