Radio Hula - by Elizabeth Kahau Alohikea
He aha nei hana a ka radio
A ka nui manu a`e li`a mau nei
Ua hana `ia `oe me ka no`eau
Na ka `ili puakea piha `akamai
Meha ala no e i mai ana ia`u
Be still malie `oe e ke aloha
Nana i ho`ohui na `ailana
Ike `ia `o Hawai`i no ka `oi
Ha`ina `ia mai ana ka puanna
Be still malie `oe i ke aloha What does the radio do
That so many birds (people) long for one
You were made with skill
By Caucasians filled with ingenuity
It seems to say to me
Won`t you kiss me softly, my love
It united continents
Now it's known that Hawaii is the best
Tell the refrain
Be very still, you, the one I love
