No Kauluwena O Ke Aloha

He mele he inoa no Kauluwena
Wahine heahea pu‘uwai aloha
Ohaoha launa ‘ole, hiehie
A he alaka‘i maka laulauna 

Inā ka ‘īnea, inā he mālie
‘O Ka‘anehe kō hoapili pa‘a
‘O Pai‘ea ho‘i kahi hoa like,
Ho‘ōla lāhui ho‘oulu pae ‘āina

Pa‘ē mai lā ke kani a nā pila
Ho‘ohemo kāma‘a, lewa ke kīkala
Kūkala mai e ka leo ‘ākoakoa
Alu mai i ka hana, ku‘upau pono

Pa‘a pono ke kahua na‘auao
I ka no‘eau o ka lima ho‘ōla
Ha‘ina ‘ia mai ana ka puana
No ka ulu wena o ke aloha

This is a mele inoa for Kauluwena
A woman so warm and welcoming and full of love
A delightful companion, so distinguished
A leader, personally connected with her peopl

In days of hardship, in days of ease
Ka‘anehe has always been by your side
With Pai‘ea as the exemplar,
The people thrive and the lands are vibrant

When the sweet strains of music hit,
The shoes come off and the hips sway
When the call goes out to gather and assist
There you are, pitching in, giving it your all

The foundations of education have been set
In the adept touch of the nuturing hand
Here is the story of Kauluwena
The vibrant bonds of love
