Mokuola - Words & music by John K. Almeida

 
Ohaoha Mokuola, kukilakila
He opua noke kai pakipika
E ka moana kai nui akea
E lana malie kou mau ale
 
 
 
Ia oe ika makani nui ikaika
E pa aheahe malie oe
Kaulana Mokuola uaike ia
Ua puka ike ao malamalama
 
 
 
Kulana hiehie ke ike aku
Ika nome haaheo ika ili kai
Ha'ina ia mai ana ka puana
Ka hoku oke kai pakipika
Welcome to Mokuola, standing with pride
A fleecy cloud on the smooth seas
O thou great wide ocean
Let thy waves surge wtih gentleness
 
 
 
O thou mighty and powerful wind
Blow thou gently and softly
Famous is Mokuola to behold
Emerging into the shining day
 
 
 
Proud and spendid to behold
Advancing in triumph on the face of the waters
The story has now been told
Of Mokuola, the star of the Pacific Ocean
