Mark Keali'i Ho'omalu & Kamehameha Schools Children
A Song for Kalani Kalakaua
Vocal 1:
Great thanks to the Queen
Lili'uokalani, the royal one
The arching of the rainbow
The setting of the rain
The shimmering light
Look to the eyes in the bright light
From Hawai'i to Kaua'i
Vocal 2:
The Queen of Hawai'i
Standing on the island with the crown
The work of love
Enjoying the calm rain
In the sky, showing
the beauty
Vocal 1:
Kalakaua is a name
The flower that never fades in the sun
The flower that blossoms on the mountain
On the mountain of Mauna Kea
The fragrance at Kilauea
Shining on the sacred woman
The chief of Uwekahuna
On the sacred cliff of Ka'auea
The chief appears like a bird
Adorned with the feathers of Kamamo
The beautiful flower of Hawai'i
Kalakaua is a name
Kalakaua is a name
The flower that never fades in the sun
The flower that blossoms on the mountain
On the mountain of Mauna Kea
The fragrance at Kilauea
Shining on the sacred woman
The chief of Uwekahuna
On the sacred cliff of Ka'auea
Great thanks to the Queen
(The Queen of Hawai'i)
Lili'uokalani, the royal one
(Standing on the island with the crown)
The chief appears like a bird
Adorned with the feathers of the mamo
The beautiful flower of Hawai'i
Kalakaua is a name
