Текст и перевод песни Kealiʻi Reichel - No Ka Moku Kiakahi Ke Aloha

No Ka Moku Kiakahi Ke Aloha

No ka moku kia kahi ke aloha la
Ka′eleu holo I ka moana
Lu'u a iho a′e, pi'i luna ka hope,
Pa'a limo pono I ka pale kai
O′olo pu na pe′a kapali'i I ka maka
Popohe I ka makani
O′ole'a ke kia, kuhi a′e I ka lani
Pou nemonemo I ka'ehu kai
Ui′ui e'e I na kaoneki o Lalo
Walawala ka pumi ma ope
Pakipaki ka maka ihu I ka hule I lua
A kuli I ka apohopho
Ha'ina ia mai ka puana la
Noka maku kia kahi ke aloha
Ha′ina hou ia mai ka puana la
Ke′eleu holo I ka moana
He mele aloha no ku'u moku kia kahi

Love Song for the Lonely Island

For the island that is separated from love
Sails and travels across the ocean
Bends down and rises to the back,
Anchored well in the ocean's embrace
The seaweed clings tightly, covering the face
Sways in the wind
The mast stands tall, reaching towards the sky
A swaying post in the ocean's mist
Eagerly awaiting the distant lands below
The sail billows out, its belly full
The bowsprit creaks and groans as it leaps through the waves
And dives into the depths
A song is sung of the island
For the island that is separated from love
A song is sung again of the island
Sails and travels across the ocean
A love song for my lonely island
