Lyrics

"Kahea 'O Keale"
(Louis Moon Kauakahi)

E ho'olohe, e ka po'e ala,
A'ohe wau i hiamoe,
Aka, ua hiamoe ka nui lehulehu,
Aipaha,ua ala au,
E ho'olohe, ua pihoihoi au,
Ho'una ko'u leo i ka ho'olaha,
I ka po'e lohe,
E hele mai, ke hea aku nei au.

Listen, all you who are awake
For I do not sleep
Though the multitude may sleep
Yet, I am awake
Listen, for I am restless
My voice sends out a message
To those that hear
Come, for I am calling

E ho'olei ka 'upena ma ka apapa,
Malaila, loa'a he nui lehulehu,
Ma ka maile 'o ke kakahiaka,
E ho'olohe mai ke hea aku nei au,
Ma ke kuahiwi e hea aku ana,
Ho'una nei i ka'u mele,
E hele mai, o wau ho'i he kahakai,
E hele mai, e ha'awi wale aku au i ka'u.

Cast your nets upon my reefs
And abundantly i give thee
In the still of the morning
Listen, for I am calling
In the mountains, I echo
My song I send out to thee
Come, for I am the sea
Come, and freely I give of me

.............................

English translation:

"Keale called"
(Louis Moon Kaukahi)

Hear, ye wayfarers,
I didn't sleep,
But the multitude slept,
Maybe I woke up
Listen, I'm confused,
My voice sends an announcement,
To those who hear,
Come, I call.

Listen, all you who are awake
For I do not sleep
Although the crowd may sleep
Yet, I am awake
Listen, for I am restless
My voice sends out a message
To those who hear
Come, for I am calling

Let the net be thrown on the shelf,
There was a great multitude,
In the early morning,
Hear me when I call,
On the mountain calling,
Sending my music,
Come, I am a beach,
Come on, I'll just give you mine.

Cast your nets upon my reefs
And abundantly I gave thee
In the still of the morning
Listen, for I am calling
In the mountains, I echo
My song I sent out to you
Come, for I am the sea
Come, and freely I give of me
