E Kumuola, e ku'u tutu,
Poha mai ka 'onohi 'ula,
Wehi 'ia ke alaula,
Mai ka mole, ke kikowaena,

Ha'alulu ke kumu honua,
Haku 'iku'i i ka' 'aina nei,
Wehe 'ia ke alaula,
Hoaka 'O Kamawaipolani,

Hane'ene'e hele i kai.
'Oni me ka muliwai 'ola,
Wehi 'ia ke alaula,
Uhi pono i ke ea,

Puana ke ha'ina,
Ho'okukaulani i hei kapu,
Wehe 'ia ke alaula,
No nahanauna nei.

Oh, Kumuola, My tutu,
Burst with rays of fire,
Opened a flaming pathway
From the source, the center

the foundation trembled,
echoed throughout the land
opened a stream of life
Appeared Kamawaipolani

moving toward the sea,
onward like a living river
opened a seaward path
enveloped in lifes' breath

the story is told,
restore this sacred domain
opened the path of life
for the generations of this land

Deep gratitude & infinite thanx to Makaha Sons also for this song! I finally found the lyrics here, and I'm blown away. Wow! So much power, so much passion! Their unrivaled, heavenly vocals and song arrangement give me goose bumps each time I listen to their songs, most especially this one. And now that I have the lyrics to Ke Alaula, holy cow! I think I have permanent "chicken skin," as they say. I always knew from the sound of this one of how potent that spiritual connection is to the true people of Hawaii, the true natives of Polynesia. In this, I find great respect, honor, joy and appreciation.

Much Mahalo for the lyrics . . .
