Old Hawai'i Calls Her Children -- Thoughts at Pu'uhoma o Honaunau

Old Hawai'i Calls Her Children

Old Hawai'i calls her children,

How she yearns for yesteryear.

Come, my keiki, learn your story.

Know your fathers, strong and brave.

Old Hawai'i calls her children,

Come, revisit yesteryear.

Ahupua'a, sea to mountain,

Malama aina, self-sufficient we did live. 

Old Hawai'i calls her children,

Learn of life from yesteryear.

Royal ali'i, warriors brave --

Tutus, kupuna, keiki, all together, day to day.

Old Hawai'i calls her children, 

Learn the sacred rites of old.

Come, my children, dance your story --

Hula -- chant -- recall the word.

Old Hawaii calls her children,

How she yearns for yesteryear.

Come, my keiki, learn your story,

Know your fathers, strong and brave.

Hula Keiki
