E ‘ILAU HOE KĀKOU
By: James Romano


He aloha nō i ke kai

Love for the sea
E lawe mai ma’ane‘i kākou

Brings us here
He aloha nō i ka wa’a

Love for the canoe
E ho‘ākoakoa kākou

Brings us together


Ā me hanu ho‘okahi

With one breath
E ‘ilau hoe kākou

Let’s paddle together
Ā me hanu ho‘okahi

With one breath
E ne‘epapa kākou

Let’s move together as a whole

E alu like mai

Work together
E ‘ilau mai kākou

Let’s work together
E alu like mai

Work together
E ‘ilau mai kākou

Let’s work together


Ā me hanu ho‘okahi

With one breath
E ‘ilau hoe kākou

Let’s paddle together
Ā me hanu ho‘okahi

With one breath
E ne‘epapa kākou

Let’s move together as a whole

E alu like mai

Work together
E ‘ilau mai kākou

Let’s work together
E alu like mai

Work together
E ‘ilau mai kākou

Let’s work together
