He Ala Kamaha`o i ka Lewa
Across the heavens, the sun travels along a sacred path, weaving a lei that is sacred to ka po`e Hawai‘i. Each island is a precious blossom in this celestial lei , a fine adornment close to the hearts of Hawaiians everywhere. This oli was recorded at Kumukahi on Hawai`i Island as the sun broke through the horizon and started its journey.

This chant was recorded during the sunrise at Cape Kumukahi on the Big Island of Hawai`i .

 

He ala kamaha`o i ka lewa
Holo mai ke ola o luna nei
Kui `ia e ka lä ka lei aloha
No ka lani ka lei wehi o ka `äina
Me ka pua ko`olihi o Keawe
Me ka pua hau kokolo o Pi`ilani
Me ka pua ho`ohihi o Kaululä`au
Me ka pua kü kahakai o Kanaloa
Me ke pua lau `anapa o Lanikäula
Me ka pua lei `äpiki o Käkuhihewa
Me ka pua hemolele o Manokalanipö
Me ka pua hiehie o Kahelelani
Kähiko nö kau i ka lani
Pili pa`a i ka poli o nä Hawai`i ë

There is a wondrous pathway in the heavens
Upon which travels the life-giver of the high places
A beloved lei is strung by the sun
For the heavenly one is this adornment fashioned from the `äina
It is strung with the cheek-caressing blossom of Keawe
With the blossom of the cool, creeping mist of Pi`ilani
With the entrancing blossom of Kaululä`au
With the beach-growing blossom of Kanaloa
With the shimmering-leafed blossom of Lanikäula
With the mischief-attracting blossom of Käkuhihewa
With the flawless blossom of Manokalanipö
With the elegant blossom of Kahelelani
It is an adornment most fitting; a lei placed in the heavens
And held ever close to the heart of Hawaiians.
