E Ala E Lyrics
We, the voices behind the face,
Of the hawaiian nation, the hawaiian race
Rise for justice the day has come
For all our people to stand as one,
E ala e, ′eâ, 'eâ, ′eâ, 'eâ,
E ala e, 'eâ, ′eâ, ′eâ,
(Repeat the first verse)
E ala e, 'eâ, ′eâ, 'eâ, ′eâ,
E ala e, 'eâ, ′eâ, 'eâ,
E huli i ka ho'i i ka pâkini alamihi
Gone are the days of the alamihi* ways
E kiko i ka piko o ka mana o ka po′e
The power of the people is the piko*
′O ka piko ke aloha o ka 'âina, o ka ′âina
We the warriors born to live
On what the land and sea can give
Defend our birthright to be free
Give our children liberty,
(Repeat)
(Repeat verse 2).
E ala e, 'eâ, ′eâ, 'eâ, e ala e (repeated several times...)
